Elie Saab was harshly criticized for his all-white couture collection. After Karl Lagerfeld's incredible all-white couture show last season, fashion insiders questioned if Saab made a wise choice. Is he comparing himself to Him? Was he unaware of the blatant similarities?

Style.com noted, "Saab would have to be remarkably insensitive not to realize that it was going to cause a sharp intake of breath and suppressed giggles from people who know about fashion."
Good point, Style.com. But shouldn't one be remarkably insensitive to be successful in this industry at all?
