Elie Saab had spectators seeing double during the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2016-2017 show in Paris on Wednesday. The presentation, which was dedicated to the city of New York, and titled #ImpressionsofNY, featured eight models who took the runway with mini-me versions. The grown up models wore more elaborate versions of the gowns, while the smaller models walked in more toned-down pieces.

With the arrival of the fashion house's Madison Avenue store in New York City is slated for 2017, each of the 55 dresses (big or small) represented a piece of the big apple. For one of the looks, the model/mini duo walked in elegant gowns, detailed with birds along the skirt fusing a fast-paced essence and edge.
CELEBRITIES AND THEIR MINI-ME'S
Another stellar piece worn by the duo was a semi-nude gown dressed in lace, that signified mid-century silhouettes. Keeping it professional, but still cute, some of the younger models were sure to crack a smile while taking on the catwalk and showcasing the details.
Olivia Palermo appropriately brought a little piece of New York City to the front row of the presentation, while Milla Jovovich attended sans her mini-me daughter, Ever Gabo Anderson, who has been making her way around the Paris fashion circuit with her mother this week.
