Haute couture gods have once again descended upon Paris, introducing the Fall/Winter 2014/15 season. While the ostentatiously wealthy are busy sending their orders to fashion houses, we mere mortals can drool over the photos of the resplendent creations. Acute aspiration disorder? Nothing provokes it like haute couture.
1. Giambattista Valli
Valli's Queen of the desert, irressistibly chic nomad, is set to shake and make history.
2. Dior
Dior is finally steering into a direction worth its name.
3. Vionnet
See, the revival of the Vionnet label wasn't
completely unnecessary.

4. Viktor & Rolf
What do you mean, you don’t want to lounge around in a ridiculously oversized, scarlet red bow dress coat? Liar.
5. Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal
I don't like the outfit. This opinion is irrelevant given the fact that the gold dots are actually old French franc coins.
6. Chanel
I love it when Chanel does regal. This outfit reminds me of the amazing
Paris & Byzantium collection. More, please!
7. Zuhair Murad
The details!
8. Ulyana Sergeenko
A coat is meant to conceal. This one reveals just enough. Ulyana Sergeenko is the one Russian oligarch vanity project that's turned out really well. (After all, isn't entire fashion vanity?)
9. Armani Privé
Armani Privé is usually my favorite haute couture collection. This season is no exception. The long, black veils are from another world.
10. Elie Saab
A+++ ombré.
Pin this post for later:
Armani Prive and Elie Saab are my favorites here. The other ones didn't impress me as much - Ulyana Sergeenko is kind of boring this time.

I was disappointed with her previous collection, but I like how she's evolving - one of "the ones to watch" for sure.
That Elie Saab dress / fur shrug is absolutely stunning. I love when dresses appear to float...
Me too! Elie Saab is magic.
I love the look of the Elie Saab, the Chanel is something I could see myself wearing (if I could ever afford it) and I agree with you completely on the coin skirt. It looks like some of the coins may have already fallen off.
