Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2018 couture show was a noted tribute to the designer Pierre Cardin, most known for his mod creations and space age designs of the 1960s. Here, our show notes on the collection.

Clare Waight Keller (formerly of Chloe) just debuted her very first couture collection for Givenchy in Paris.

Below, our show notes for the collection.

Ellery had a major first this season. The Australian brand with a cult following presented its first couture show alongside a pre-fall ready-to-wear collection. It was the second time the line had presented in Paris, and suiting, chunky capes and draped dresses dominated the runway—plus, some new silhouettes that might take the top tier place of “most wanted” in lieu of the brand’s signature wide flare trousers. Here, our show notes for the collection.

Alexandre Vauthier, the couturier known for dressing Rihanna, Bella Hadid and Caroline Vreeland in addition to a host of other cool girls just presented his Spring 2018 couture collection. Staying true to the designer’s aesthetic, the draped minidresses, ruffled tops and skintight pants felt like they were made for the bold celebrity styles plates of the world. Below, our show notes on the collection.

Schiaparelli just presented its Spring 2018 collection, inspired by the meeting of African and European cultures, along with visual references from imaginary kingdoms. The result were tulle and feathered dresses, and transparent knits that took on a life of their own. Below, our show notes for the collection.

Dior’s latest couture show was a surrealist affair. Fishnets stockings were paired over sandals, dresses were veiled by peacock feathers and structure was created by braided horsehair—all under the lights of the Rodin Museum in Paris. Below, our show notes on the collection.
