Armani Privé Couture Fall 2013

It was quite difficult to choose the perfect nude dress from my favorite Privé collection to date, but I love the ease and elegance of this pale sequined one.

2

Chanel Couture Fall 2013

The Chanel show was all about futurism, and this silver column dress exemplifies just that for evening.

Vionnet Couture Fall 2013

This collection was small and tightly edited; I love the navy laser-cut lace and the silhouette of this dress.

Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Collection Fall 2013

The blue tulle coat hid a beautiful silver sequined dress – something new and unexpected from Margiela.

5

Elie Saab Couture Fall 2013

Nothing is ever minimal at Elie Saab, and this sequin cocktail dress stood out in the midst of a sea of gowns.

Ulyana Sergeenko Couture Fall 2013

Part of the charm of Sergeenko’s collection is that you can imagine her wearing all of the dresses – I like the combination of a blouse top and black strapless gown, demure and elegant.

7

Valentino Couture Fall 2013

This beautiful red satin dress is both minimal and very Valentino, and red is a strong color for the season

8

Atelier Versace Fall 2013

My favorite part of the Versace collection was the exposed corsets – a big theme for Donatella.

Zuhair Murad Couture Fall 2013

An embellished, form-fitting dress with cutouts at the waist give couture a modern edge.
