Elie Saab's Fall 2012 Haute Couture collection, entitled "In Constantinople's Wake," recalls oriental opulence with ample detail and luxe embellishments.  Embroidery on silk organza, tulle, and guipure form the bulk of the collection, highlighted by gold leaf accents and facetted stones.  This classical and camera-friendly collection will likely make several red carpet appearances during this year's awards season.
