The arrival of Couture Week in Paris, brought many sights to behold. Rich and warm, jewels and gold were very much on display in the Elie Saab show. The collection from Atelier Versace was nothing more then spectacular, with pieces that make the wearer the center of attention in any situation they find themselves in. Lagerfeld's work epitomized the signature feel that is the house of Chanel. Dior's collection was the pure distillation of femininity, with an effortless ease. Meanwhile Galliano pushed the edge even further for Maison Margiela. Giambattista Valli presented blooms for both his young Valli girls as well as the sophisticated women with more discerning tastes. I present the looks from Paris that captured my eye the most. From the structured glory of Viktor and Rolfe to the reverence for the Breton strip displayed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Paris out on quite the show for the fashion world.
