Elie Saab showed the perfect collection that literally everything will look gorgeous on the red carpets. The maximum length of dresses, lavishly decorated with feathers, crystals and floral prints, is the best fit for especially special occasions. The Lebanese designer also used beads, sparkling sequins, lace, embroidery and draperies to decorate his designs. As he himself admitted after the show, the new collection is inspired by the memories of his mother and her impeccable style. Perhaps that is why Saab's couture models turned out to be so feminine, romantic and fulfilled with dreams.

The new collection of the hooligan designer includes 61 images. Jean-Paul Gaultier once again pushes the boundaries of what is permissible and uses the wedding dress as the basis of the entire collection. The fashion designer re-examines gender roles and their fluidity, and also tells us that it is not at all necessary to stick to tradition. At least in fashion. Therefore, Gaultier boldly mixes elements of men's and women's suits, complements them with veils, silk and organza meters. It looks like this - far from new - his approach to fashion is very fresh, relevant and not at all ironic. Jean Paul Gaultier's new models are a full-fledged study at the intersection of fashion, culture and sociology.

Since their return to haute couture, Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have consistently turned to red carpet outfits. This time, the guys threw away such mercantile goals and fantasized enough. Based on the images of a gardener and a shepherdess, Victor and Rolf created a collection of sophisticated outfits in a modern pastoral style. Before us appeared flower girls, whose magnificent images Christian Dior himself could envy. Bright flashy prints, asymmetrical volumes, fluffy folds and play with the length of the models - all this revived the audience, which was preparing to watch the next collection for celebrities. The incredible straw hats adorned with wheat stalks and paper flowers deserve special attention. All together it looks just great and very life-affirming.

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli sing another hymn to romance and eternal beauty. This time they turn to Eastern European folklore and use elements of Slavic folk costumes. Straight sundresses, snow-white light shirts and embroidered shirts look very impressive and incredibly stylish on the catwalk. The main thing is that the designers use all these elements very tactfully, without bending sticks or slipping into a splint. House Valentino expresses its solidarity with Eastern Europe, which is going through hard times today, and once again declares that beauty will save the world. The same idea is transmitted in prints and embroidery calling for love and peace.
