    The couture shows in Paris this past week may have been showcasing the best of this year’s Fall 2015 collections but there was certainly a hint ethereal summer inspiration sprinkled all over the runways for this couture season. fall2015couture-atelier-versace

    Kicking off the highlights for Fall 2015 was Atelier Versace‘s tribute to the hippie movement, with the likes of Kendall and Karlie draped in pastel silk dresses. The collection itself was a much softer look from Versace, with bodices were looser and fabrics flowed behind models who were also sporting floral motifs and delicate flower crowns.

  • Once Upon A Time… | Valentino Spring 2015 Couture

    *sighs* Oh Valentino, how do I express how much I love you. Once again the design house has presented a Spring 2015 Couture collection that has completely captured my heart.

    Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli truly love literature and they’re fond of incorporating beautiful words into their work. This collection is no exception with quotes from Dante’s Inferno embroidered across many of the beautiful pieces. The effect is just fantastical and, again, just took my breath away.

    Only adding to the fairytale feel of the collection is the equally stunning beauty looks, more specifically the hair styling. The whole feel is completely romantic and looks like it was lifted straight out of a renaissance mural. They’re not the typical hippie flower crowns of the past, but think messy braided up-dos and with delicate flowers tucked into the strands, adding pretty pops of colour.

  • Couture At Cannes | Beauty In The Detail

    Cannes Couture 2014 1Cannes Couture 2014 2
    It’s that time of year again, of swoon worthy gowns gracing the red carpet in the glorious sunshine of the Cote D’azur. Cannes Film Festival is in full swing and whilst eagle eyed film fanatics have been raving about this year’s nominations, the fashion world are swimming in a sea of breathtaking couture looks.
    For me the love of couture is both in the fully compiled ensemble, but it’s also in the almost microscopic detail of the gowns and dresses. Whether it it for the evening premiere or daytime press call, it’s definitely worth fawning over the hidden treasures concealed in Best Dressed List worthy looks.
