At his show in Paris, Elie Saab presented a collection of gloriously romantic clothes in muted tones. His program notes referenced the art technique called chiaoscuro, which is the use of effects representing contrasts of light, not necessarily strong, to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects. He juxtaposed light and dark across flowing skirts in shades of teal, purple and faded lavender.
I've also included Giovanni Baglone's Sacred Love Versus Profane Love, an example of chiaoscuro.
