Couture superyacht brings high fashion to the high seas

I will admit to being easily amused, but I found this to be very funny.  For those with more money than sense, here is a “couture superyacht” designed by a fashion designer.   I would worry that it might be more fashionable than seaworthy but it does look rather conventional overall.  (As a naval architect, I  promise that I will never, ever design clothes.)

Couture superyacht brings high fashion to the high seas

The world’s most fashionable women may finally have the perfect place to show off their designer dresses: A haute couture superyacht.

Couturier Elie Saab, whose clientele includes actresses Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow, recently unveiled his design for a 117-meter superyacht.

Designing red carpet dresses and high-tech superyachts might not seem the most natural bedfellows, but the Lebanese designer believes this latest venture is a natural extension of his fashion empire.

“I always sought to represent my vision of modernity and elegance beyond the conventional limits of fashion,” Saab told CNN.

“Both haute couture and superyachts are distinctive examples of luxury. The project of a yacht is already a luxury.

“Adding a designer’s vision to the creation is the ultimate luxury,” he said of the design which was launched at last month’s Abu Dhabi yacht show
