Like a kid in a candy store I've been once again trying to pick my favourite looks from the Haute Couture Spring 2016 fashion shows which were presented in Paris earlier this week. Imagining myself being sophisticated enough to pull off a Chanel Couture, dreaming of attending the Oscars in a Valentino (those loose shapes and yummy textures!) and wondering if I would have enough glamour in me to ever rock one of those Elie Saab "Indian princess" looks..?

My favourites from the cinema-inspired Chanel Métiers d’Art show, which was presented in Rome last night! I'm loving Freja's first tweed look especially. You can see the full collection here. Karl Lagerfeld also premiered his interesting new short film, 'Once and Forever' starring Kristen Stewart, and you can watch that one here below!

There's such an incredible amount of time and work that goes into making a collection like this and then presenting it to the world, and seeing this makes me realise and appreciate it all the more. All the little details, from the actual clothing to the stage setup, are thought out into perfection. There are so many looks from this Haute Couture collection I personally just love as well. I already showed you some of my favourites here but I never mentioned that wedding dress suit yet, so can we please talk about this for a second? Doesn't it just blow your mind? Even if it's just for Julianne Moore this video is worth watching, btw, she's stunning. And, well, now you may as well check out the fantastic 'Making Of' video and the video of the full show in HD (below), while you're at it. Love.

Haute Couture Fall 2015 fashion week took place in Paris earlier this week and was closed by a spectacular Valentino show in Rome on Thursday evening - of which you can watch the video below. Probably my favourite show of the bunch, although it's almost not possible to pick a favourite as I was impressed by most of them, really. Once again I collected some of the looks that stood out for me here. Timeless elegance from Chanel, fantastic prints and layers from Giambattista Valli, contrasts from Dior.. In terms of originality I have to hand it to Viktor & Rolf, though, (as usual) for their "Wearable Art" collection which I thought was clever as well as incredibly beautiful.

I absolutely love closeup videos like this and I feel like it would just be a shame or a waste if we would never actually get the chance to have a closer look at all the details in Haute Couture collections. It's incredible to see all the intricate craftsmanship (and, no doubt, hours of work) that goes into the making of a (Chanel) Haute Couture piece. So, just watch and be in awe!
