Couture week is my favourite part of the fashion calender; there is something so romantic about the ideas that stand behind it, and the creation of gowns that aren't commercially but artistically driven. It never fails to be inspirational and to remind me of what made me love fashion in the first place. It wasn't the status symbols or the exclusivity, it was the sheer beauty of it all.
Raf's couture collections for Dior might not be the opulent extravagance that couture calls to mind, but his modernist interpretations of the ultimate in garments is high impact and the dress above, look 20 from his most recent collection, caught my eye even in the blurry background of blurry instagrams.
