Fashion designer Zuhair Murad put on a romantic show in Paris on Wednesday as he debuted his Spring 2016 Haute Couture collection. The Lebanese creative put the focus on female sensuality with a collection of structured dresses that protruded bell-like at the hips, sculpting exaggeratedly womanly curves.
The house of Valentino provided a fashionable history of art lesson in Paris on Wednesday night, as it showcased its Spring 2016 haute couture collection. Under the creative direction of designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the Italian label whipped up a classical collection of show-stopping gowns that felt both timeless and modern.

The Italian house put on a show that managed to combine 1960s vibes, 1930s detailing and futuristic structures, all while sticking to a single color palette, rimmed with the occasional injection of black for contrast. This meant lilac leather ankle boots paired with sheer sequinned tops, iridescent, translucent puffball jackets and pleated metallic miniskirts that swished their way down the catwalk. There were petrol-hued bomber jackets, trousers with organza ruffles running down the leg and lampshade-style tops.

There was pomp and ceremony on the catwalks of Paris on Monday night, as some of the biggest couture houses showed off their starry collections for Spring 2016. First up was the UK-based house Ralph&Russo, whose fairytale extravaganza of cocktail dresses and ball gowns was as enchanting as it was on-point. From the full-length gloves embroidered with floral patterns to a semi-sheer gown splattered with silver leaves, this was a springtime collection based on sweetness and light, with a healthy dash of red carpet glamour thrown in for good measure.

Stepping lightly down the grassy runway, Karl Lagerfeld's doll-like models were a picture of dewy and youthful elegance, from their Princess Leia-like hairstyles to the glossy black tips of their monochrome pumps. This being Chanel, the show started with the tweed suits — chic two-pieces comprising elongated midi skirts cut close to the body and cropped double-breasted jackets with puffed sleeves for contrast. There were dress coats and trouser suits, all woven from a tasteful palette of creams, golds, peaches and dusky greys, with brooches scattered around for embellishment.
