For the lucky few who get to attend this exclusive event, it’s one of the highlights of the seaosn: and for the rest of us, the photos and videos offer a peek inside one of the most fun and fascinating parts of the fashion season.

If you think some of the shows at Fashion Week in New York or Milan are crazy, you’d be shocked to see what shows up at a couture show. That’s because couture is meant to be literally wearable artwork, made specifically for the runway. Some pieces certainly look wearable, while others (definitely) do not. No one expects to see one of Armani’s feathery creations on a street style blog anytime soon: but that’s part of what couture shows are all about. These events are designers’ chance to take artistic license and run wild with it: you’ll see shapes, textures, and silhouettes that you might never come across in a department store. That said, there’s a lot you can learn about designers themselves (and even about upcoming seasonal trends) by glancing through couture show photos.  Here’s Vogue.com’s slideshow:  http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/vogues-view-front-row-and-backstage-photos-from-couture/#/gallery/couture-spring-2012/17

from Vogue.com: Valentino Couture collection, Spring 2012

Dior and Valentino: Both of these fashion houses are known for producing gowns with high drama, classic silhouettes and lots of romance: at couture shows, all of these elements get played to the max. Some of Dior’s dresses this season (below center) definitely look wearable (who WOULDN’T want that dress?). But what we’re looking for here are things to take away for the coming season. Since the silhouettes here are typical for these designers, what we’re looking at here are the colors. Confirmation that the white trend is definitely prominent for this spring? Yes, I think so….

   

from Vogue.com: Christian Dior Couture Collection, Spring 2012

from Vogue.com: Versace Couture Collection, Spring 2012

Versace: True to form, Versace delivered a sexy, pumped-up collection of skin-tight dresses with a Space Age flair. The bright neon color palette presiding in parts of this collection was one of the slightly extreme elements here: think of the bright yellows and greens we’re seeing trending for this spring, turned up just a little more. What can we take away from this collection? We couldn’t decide right away: but the retro hairstyles that corresponded to the collection are probably the biggest takeaway for us!

from Vogue.com: Alexis Mabille Couture, Spring 2012

…We have no words for this one. Alexis Mabille was clearly having some fun here. This is what we mean by taking artistic license and running (to the garden) with it!

Take a look at Vogue.com’s backstage slideshow of the couture shows!
