## Dior 



  

[Dior’s](https://www.dior.com/en_gb) collection was a sophisticated blend of past and present, paying homage to the house’s 1950s designs and Yves Saint Laurent’s early work. That said, the craftsmanship and artistic storytelling felt entirely modern, after creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s went into the archives to update classic Dior styles such as the Trapèze line and Cigale silhouette. Celebrities like Jenna Ortega, Anya Taylor-Joy, Venus Williams and Pamela Anderson all added to the glamour on the front row.

## Schiaparelli 



  

After creative director Daniel Roseberry discovered some 1920s and 30s antique ribbons in a Parisian shop, his latest couture collection started to take shape. The ‘Icarus’ collection took further inspiration from Greek mythology with structured jackets, duchess satin bustier gowns, and neoprene opera coats. Dominated by black, ivory, and champagne colours, the aesthetic was sophisticated and dramatic.

## Armani Privé 



  

[Giorgio Armani](https://www.armani.com/en-gb/) marked 20 years of [Armani Privé](https://www.armanibeauty.co.uk/armani-prive/armani-prive.html) with a collection that honoured the house’s global influences. Reflecting Armani’s timeless aesthetic, standouts included shimmering black gowns, Asian-inspired fitted jackets and crystal-encrusted full skirts. Intricate pearl embellishments also featured heavily throughout. The man himself, now 91, received a standing ovation when he walked out onto the runway at the end of the show.

## Chanel 



  

[Chanel’s](https://www.chanel.com/gb/) couture show was all about celebrating legacy, as it marked 110 years of the Parisian house’s couture heritage. Crafted by the studio team before new creative director Matthieu Blazy takes the helm, the collection featured a mix of soft pastels, bold colours, and classic Chanel blacks and signature tweeds. The ‘frow’ included Kylie Jenner in a midriff-baring white tweed suit along with long-time faces of Chanel like mother-and-daughter duo Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Depp.

## Valentino 



  

Alessandro Michele's inaugural collection for [Valentino](https://www.valentino.com/en-gb/) was a testament to his ability to blend historical references with contemporary design. The collection – ‘Pavillon des Folies’ – embraced a romantic and surrealist vision. Oversized ruffles, harlequin patterns and embroidered capes took the drama up a notch, while the intricate embroidery showcased Michele’s inimitable attention to detail.

This season, [Elie Saab](https://www.eliesaab.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqVRw4STdUaOWsC-cmfSBox3rkxNdNnwL7ra3XZM-c4kqgzXTIl) confirmed his position as a master of couture. Demonstrating his commitment to timeless femininity, the collection embraced a refined colour palette of soft pastels and rich jewel tones. Delicate embroidery, lace overlays and flowing silhouettes all featured heavily, along with ethereal dresses adorned with intricate beadwork and voluminous skirts. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also sat front row in a stunning white suit, complete with a flowing neck scarf.

## Giambattista Valli 



  

[Giambattista Valli](https://www.giambattistavalli.com/en/) always has a way of making volume feel both extravagant and ethereal – and this season was no different. The collection, entitled ‘Les Jardins de la Ménara’, paid homage to the historic gardens and orchards of Marrakesh with a mix of deep, earthy tones and soft pinks creating a beautiful contrast. The puff-ball trend went supersized with a combination of rich satins, bows and intricate beading – making every look feel like a wearable piece of art.
