Couture, as per, has been a beautiful whirlwind. Petal after petal, gem after gem, all the typical joys of Haute Couture were on offer for Spring Summer 2015, but wait, there's more - all kinds of unorthodox and just better-than-ever magic hit the runways in Paris this time. We're here to show you the most fantastical...
1. Chanel = bloomin beautiful.
So are these male models. But yes, the blooms... Monsieur Lagerfeld always puts on a spectacle in Le Grand Palais. This time a paradise of paper flowers swirled and unfurled as tulle-endrenched models encircled the spherical catwalk.
**2. Obi-belted gowns at Armani Privé. **
A couture dress teamed with a day-time touch always goes down a treat and these thick satin obis were no exception. A flared feathered jumpsuit can't hurt either.
**3. Loop-de-loop for Dior. **
Trust Raf to turn his romantic frocks info futuristic fantasies, with just a touch of the sixties. These knotted hair pieces drew his soft embroidered gowns and Bowie-esque printed jumpsuits together with ease.
**4. The most delicate and dreamy of embroidery at Valentino. **
Thick sequinned handwriting and fluttering pastel petals... need we say more?
**5. A modern veil at Giambattista Valli. **
A clean bardot-esque bow with a mini visor-like veil makes for a modern touch to frothy frills. Every bride should invest in one.
6. Just everything - Viktor & Rolf.
Bonkers and brilliant, V&R combined african prints with overblown flower, applique and magnificient headwear made of corn. This whole shebang made for the dreamiest take on corn-row chic we've ever seen.
