12. Alexis Mabille

Mabille redefined the shirt dress with this, a version that looks like it has been slipped down over the model’s hips and tied, revealing a bustier and suggesting a sexy state of dishabille.

13. Schiaparelli

Creative director Bertrand Guyon nodded to Schiaparelli’s surrealist roots with pieces that riffed on cubist art and zodiac motifs, while this dress maintains a Gatsby-era elegance with its gold-and-black palette.

14. Francesco Scognamiglio

Italian designer Scognamiglio was a guest designer at couture this season, and his body-skimming gowns with elaborate embellishments and exuberant pleated bodices were a sight to behold.

15. Chanel

In a presentation that paid tribute to thecraftswomen of his atelier, designer Karl Lagerfeld showed a collection of sharp-shouldered jackets and romantic, pleated, flowered dresses like this one.

16. Jean Paul Gaultier

Put aside this look’s kooky styling (lace-ruffle hoods: get into them … or don’t), and Gaultier’s given us a stunningly pretty gown that emphasizes a womanly silhouette with its dramatic side gathering.

17. Giles Deacon

This is the London designer’s first couture collection — and he was so dedicated to the cause, he put his popular ready-to-wear line on hold to create it. Here, he gives damask silk a shibori dye treatment, and a 19th century shape, making a thoroughly modern evening gown.

18. Valentino

Valentino nodded to Shakespearean times with its collection of high-necked gowns. This diaphanous example recalls John Everett Millais’ painting of Ophelia.

19. Guo Pei

The Chinese designer who helped Rihanna win the Met Ball last year showed hyper-feminine fit-and-flare dresses in ice blue — fit for a princess.

20. Maison Margiela

John Galliano doesn’t do just plain pretty. So while a floor-sweeping gown wasn’t in the cards, we did see this lovely, ice-blue midi dress, layered with a ribbon-tied cape and tiered wool jacket.

21. Viktor & Rolf

Using layers of multicolored tulle, woven floral fabrics, and even denim, Viktor & Rolf had perhaps the most handcrafted-feeling collection of the bunch. We love the way the ruffles seem to explode out of this blazer.
