I love writing about designer's collections shown in the fashion capital of Paris, Milan, New York and up-and-coming London, but it is the couture shows which consistently take my breath away with its creativity, storytelling and out-of-this-world clothes.

Couture is a fashion fairytale come to life and it’s difficult to pick just one designer collection I adore; therefore, I’ve chosen four eye-catching collections and highlighted the shoes which accompanied these garments down the runway.

P.S.: I want all the shoes, especially the ones in Jean Paul Gaultier’s show – to die for!
