As\u00a0the most glamorous and exclusive of fashion weeks - Paris Couture Fashion Week<\/a> - rounded up today,\u00a0one message was clear; couture is not merely about bling any more.<\/p>

While our inner princess still longs for those beaded and glittering gowns fit for the Oscars red carpet - thanks to Lebanese designers Elie Saab<\/strong> and Zuhair Murad<\/a> we got plenty of those as well\u00a0- it was clear that most of the couturiers these days prefer a\u00a0rather different approach to couture.<\/p>

Edgy, unexpected and original, Haute Couture <\/a>this year catered to the tastes of a younger and more experimental audience whose understanding of luxury does not necessarily equate the amount of embroidery and decoration on a dress. It is far more subtle - lying in the fabric itself and the hard work taken to manipulate it into something otherworldly, be it in a dramatic or understated manner.<\/p>

Texture, intricate details and innovative techniques took\u00a0priority here. A dress, say, from Raf Simons' Christian Dior Couture<\/strong> collection may seem simple from afar but upon closer inspection reveals a far more complicated structure which photos can never\u00a0capture the beauty and delicacy of. That's the magic of this kind of couture: it is an intimate relationship between the dress, its designer and the wearer. The audience and show factor come second.<\/p>

But since when a fringed leather jacket and PVC pants as seen at Alexandre Vaultier<\/strong> or a dress made up of rice sacks like John Galliano<\/strong>'s brilliant creation for Maison Margiela<\/a>, make up couture you ask? While the debate is too heated\u00a0and controversial for a simple answer -\u00a0what we can do is admire fashion at\u00a0this level with\u00a0both its elegant\u00a0and\u00a0flamboyant forms.<\/p>

So for now, let's\u00a0celebrate this dreamy world of couture with all its extravagance and enchantment\u00a0as we\u00a0pick our favourite looks from the Paris Couture Fashion Week runway for Fall 2015.<\/p>

Get dreaming...<\/p>
