Paris, Haute Couture

Went to see the Swarovski Paris Haute Couture exhibition last Saturday at Hotel De Ville, Paris. The exhibition presents 100 garments selected from the Musee Galliera and features what are believed to be the most beautiful and delicate pieces.


Maison Martin Margiela


A Chanel toile from 2012. Why don't my toiles look this neat?!


Madame Gres dress with her signature folding and tucking. Unbelievable amount of work in this dress.. the mind boggles to think how long something like this would have taken.


Crazy cut out dresses.




Galliano dress. Cadbury's bling!


This Givenchy dress was my favourite. It's hard to see unless you're very close but it's intricately decorated with tiny chains. I guess that's the great thing about getting to see these pieces up close. You can really appreciate the craftsmanship. Kind of helps to justify the price tags!
