Couture is Back!

As the curtains open in Paris for the incredible collections of the Spring/Summer 2013, an amazing array of Couture clothing is presented for the whole world to see. From Chanel, to Christian Dior, I am going to take you through a run through of my favourite pieces so far!

This Couture Fashion Week, Chanel opted for a Gothic take as Karl Lagerfeld produced an epic line up such as the pieces seen on British Model of the Year, Cara Delevingne above. I particularly love this outfit as the black sheer lace tights draw your attention to the little black dress, with the contrast angelic white neck and shoulder detail. The models appeared with jet black eye makeup and a feather headpiece to complete the look.

Christian Dior

I loved the Christian Dior show. The enchanting, magical theme almost looked like a living Fairytale as the exquisite gowns made a show stopping entrance. Raf Simons pulled out all the stops to impress and he absolutely achieved that! The strapless, floor length gown, took the breath away from the crowd as the pink and white floral piece created a fantasy. To add to the look, a bright glittered red lip, along with floral headbands were all on the cards.

Versace

Model Bette Franke appeared in a skin hugging, floor length black gown with red, yellow and a sheer detailing to it. The halterneck style was created by the red and yellow trail whilst a sheer leg line enabled the dress to show off the shoes at the same time. Donatella Versace opted for a smoky green eye, and slicked back hair for the models to showcase the powerful collection.

Giambattista Valli

Epic shapes and lines made an appearance at Giambattista Valli this Couture week, as they pulled everything out of the bag to show what they are made of. This particular look above features a long training back with a shorter front with layers upon layers to create a big and bouncy skirt in jet black. From the waist up, a white shirt with black panelling and a gold leaf necklace completed the look.
