Spring 2012 Couture Day 3

The 3rd and final day of Spring Couture was actually yesterday, but this post met a delay after choosing to focus on the collection from Jean-Paul Gaultier. Anyway, here are the highlights from yesterdays shows.

Franck Sorbier presented a collection of Grecian-inspired outfits, featuring busts contoured precisely to the models bodies.

Maison Martin Margiela recycled and reinvented luxurious vintage fabrics; the models walked out with their heads concealed in gold and blue masks, a trademark of the Margiela house.

Chinese designer Yiqing Yin presented gracefully surreal couture pieces that envelope the body with unique 
folds and layers.

Elie Saab delighted viewers with frothy dresses seemingly lifted straight from an underwater fairytale, continuing the oceanic trend for mermaid-inspired clothing.

Finally Valentino continued the fairytale theme with vintage floral patterns in neutral pastel shades and intricate beadwork.

  1. Spectacular collections. I like the 19th century vibe - and, as you say, the underwater feel. 20.000 Leagues Under the Ocean, anyone?
