Ralph & Russo Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2016





Fairy footwork: Instead of towering heels on the runway, the Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2008 show decided to take a different approach, with youthful ballet flats made magical in colours of a pastel ocean (peachy coral, creamy silver-blues, splashes of every pink) and decorated with a sea of sequins which shimmered like white sun hitting the watertop, shell adornments, satin straps, and jewelled fastenings to finish. via.

Like sapphire, pearl, and rich embroidery,
Buckled below fair knighthood's bending knee;
Fairies use flower for their charactery.”
