While the world was looking onto Paris during past Haute Couture fashion week, much of the decadent beauty was coming from Italy, namely Milan via the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show. Ballet dancers bouréed down the runway along with Italy’s most beautiful ballerino, Roberto Bolle. There was more velvet, tiaras and tutus than you could point a pointe shoe at and the results were as fabulously fairy tale as any fashion show could be.
Haute Couture was all around last week. Here are our top moments that will melt your fashion hearts…

Another fairy tale favourite collection was Giambattista Valli – think 1950s fabrics laden with fur and frills. Ideal for the opera, yacht or garden soiree.

Nobody quite cuts a dress like the house of Dior and the series of tutu-like dresses were stand outs of the week.

Last but not least… Chanel was all ruffles, flowers and layers. All in pretty pastels for the party season.
