Dressed in his trademark black suit and bow tie, Elbaz climbed on stage to sing the opening lines of the classic tune, "Que sera, sera".
"This is a song for all those I love, and who helped me make my dream come true," he told an enraptured audience.
Canapes, champagne and huge pastel-coloured cakes were passed around the room as the guests arrived earlier.
The runway show itself opened at a heady pace with bright colours and technical fabrics like diving suit neoprene for daytime.
Dresses were adorned with wide flounces that left the back bare, while a show-stopping velvet bustier dress was covered in white pleated flounces, worn with long leather gloves and bright red heels.
Touches of fur came with a black and white long-haired coat, or boa-style wraps in two tones, like pink and violet.
A whole series of little black dresses, some embroidered with crystal motifs, was followed by copper-coloured numbers, and evening gowns with sophisticated drapes and just as elaborate jewellery.
