Top Designs for the Paris Haute Couture

Paris was left in a buzz as the fashion royalty were taken on a magical journey through the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011/12 shows earlier this month.

For those not so familiar with the detail of the fashion industry, “haute couture” is a French term, literally meaning “high dressmaking,” that is protected by a governing body. Each year, only a handful of fashion houses are granted consent to use the Haute Couture designation, which denotes that the label partakes in custom made-to-order designs for private clients.

Top fashions labels like Dior, Armani, and Chanel showed their top designs, and here are some of our favorite looks from the shows.
