French and Italian designers have recently taken over the
runways at Haute Couture Fashion Week showcasing all things couture. The one
week of the year where all the best high-end fashion is celebrated all over the
world. Much like the regular fashion weeks, the runway pieces are luxurious, lust
worthy but most of all pricey! So we have gathered the best looks from Couture
week 2015 and showing affordable alternatives.

Wearable Art
One of the stand out trends seen on the Haute Couture
catwalks in Paris this year comes in the form of wearable art. Models were seen
at Viktor and Rolf dressed head to toe in canvas style clothing, gliding down the
catwalk draped in art. Looks like the designers were on a mission to prove that
art and fashion go hand in hand. If you’re looking to wear something a little
more creative this season we suggest these colourful art print dresses from She In and Karen Millen.
70’s Platforms
The 70’s trend has taken the fashion world by storm this
season with denim flares, suede leather and paisley prints and now platform
shoes are bigger then ever. During Couture fashion week, designers such as
Versace and Christian Dior were displaying 70’s inspired platforms and disco
heels on the runway. Get your 70’s fix with these wooden platforms from Carvela
or these nude platforms from River Island.

Floral Head Garlands
Versace wowed spectators at Couture Fashion week with
pretty flower garlands to accompany their weightless chiffon, raw edged dresses
on the runway. The garlands defied all the rules as they were dark, bold and
edgy interlaced with metallic rope. Chanel your inner hippy goddess with this

| Ulyana Sergeenko's ice-cream cone clutch |
Quirky food inspired accessories have been a big hit in the
fashion world over the past few seasons. With designers such as Anya Hindmarch
and Moschino leading the way with their bold fast food inspired handbags and
tech accessories. This time designer Ulyana Sergeenko showed off her ice-cream
cone clutches on the runway during Couture week. Get your yummy accessory with
this Skinny Dip London ipad case or these fries inspired earrings from NastyGal.
Bridal Watch
The highlight of Couture Fashion week was without a
doubt the variety of bridal wear on offer from each designer. Elie Saab
displayed beautiful golden wedding gowns whilst Galliano presented plastics and
synthetics for his haute couture bride. However Chanel took centre stage when
young starlet Kendall Jenner ended the presentation as a Chanel bride wearing a
crisp white two-piece trouser suit with a long chiffon veal draped behind her. Find a high-quality, inexpensive white wedding suit at Reiss.
