Romance For Valentino Couture FW14

Nothing competes with a heavenly collection from Valentino couture FW14. Designers to the fashion house Maria Grazia and Pierpaolo Piccioli always showcase elegance, purity and on a whole simply beautiful gowns. Taking us back into the Roman times with goddess toga gowns paired with gladiator shoes that lace up to the knees. Valentino played a youthfulness collection - with long length dresses that had a childlike ribbon to the short embroidered dolly dresses, that you imagine yourself as a little girl in.

Dior Couture FW2014

Raf Simons has really done it this time, what a beautiful executed collection for Dior couture FW14. Simon was inspired by many centuries, at first we saw inspiration from Maria Antoinette, the models showcased some breathtaking gowns, with exaggerated hemline. We then moved onto the (Edwardian) era with long-line coats and fine tailored pants. 
With a touch of the 20s from the flappish beaded dresses to the groovy 60s with the micro mini skirts. We make our way to the future with sci-fi's broad shouldered dresses to finally back to the present of lighter flawy colourful pieces. Simons took us through a fashionable history class, leaving us in awe.

Couture In Paris

Atelier Versace kicks off Paris Haute Couture for FW14. Donatella Versace, inspired by midnight colours for this collection, showcased a mix of fun sexy clothes and some body alluring leather pieces with heavy tassel's. However the designs leaned more to the sophisticated side. Influenced by the 50s era we saw crystals, beads and lets not forget the draping hourglass evening dress, which will definitely be seen award season. 

Oh how I've missed couture week...
