Spring Summer Couture Fashion Week

SS14 CoutureLast week saw designers showcase their Spring Summer 2014 couture collections on the runways in Paris. While the creative genius of John Galliano’s opulent and feminine ball gowns is still missing at Couture week (He has said “I am able to create. I am ready to create…[and] I hope through my atonement I’ll be given a second chance.”) The likes of Elie Saab, Raf Simons for Dior, Valentino and Jean Paul Gaultier provided an etherial and botanical feast for the eyes.

With the film award season well and truly underway, you can expect to see a few of these gowns on the red carpet in coming months. Here are our pics of the best:

    Belinda Wanis, aka Miss B, is a Belle About Town who likes to bring a little bit of style into every aspect of her life. An experienced journalist with over 20 years in the industry she turned to the web, creating Belle About Town in early 2010, to fill a gap for tech-savvy stylish women who want the best life has to offer at their fingertips. She loves a decadent cocktail bar, a beautifully cut dress, cultural getaways, quality over quantity and is partial to Asian-fusion food. A globetrotter, who has lived in Australia, the UK and Denmark, she enjoys holidaying in the sun and you can often find her on a beach in Thailand or on shopping breaks in Sydney or New York. But her first love is, of course, London!
