Elizabeth Mason’s Wraps are Sensational on the Runway

Elizabeth Mason Couture Red Silk Wrap

Elizabeth Mason Couture Red Silk Wrap

“Included in the show were pieces from Mason’s own line, Elizabeth Mason Couture, such as red silk taffeta wraps, and some VERY fitted (like a glove!) siren gowns (Maria Bello was wearing one). I can’t imagine the knee sweep (Advanced Fashion School terminology, sorry kiddies) on them but trust me, these are gowns to stand and hold Martinis in–not to sit. Which is how it should be!” Nick Verreos

Ayelet Zurer Wearing Elizabeth Mason Couture at Angels And Demons World Premiere in Rome and Japan

A personal message from Ayelet Zurer
“Dear Elizabeth
At last I am back home and so happy. The travels where very exiting and crazy and glamorous and unforgettable! 
I have received so many compliments on the dresses you designed for me it was unbelievable, the first pink got a huge HHHHHHHaaaaa from the photographers when I stepped out on the red photo-call carpet, and the white gown was outstanding! I saved the ‘Butterfly Dress’ for the Los Angeles Times story, I hope you’ve seen that.
I wanted to thank you again for all the work and details that you put into the press tour, I will be in debt to you.
I hope you are pleased and happy with the pictures.
See you soon, much love.
Ayelet Zurer. ”
