The spring 2016 haute couture season wrapped Wednesday in Paris after a packed week full of intricate beadwork and volumes of tulle. In addition to spectacle (supermodels, homages to David Bowie), there were some fantastic feats of design. Couture clients with homes in Nice must have been pleased with the lightness in many of the silhouettes, while red-carpet stylists were surely delighted by the impressive handiwork presented on frocks that will photograph well.
From Chanel’s Zen-like lineup to the brilliant color at Valentino, these were dresses that inspire dreams. Click the slideshow below to see our favorite looks from the spring 2016 couture season.
