We’re always waiting for something fantastic from couture shows. This year, designers didn’t disappoint our expectations: wedding dresses from Elie Saab, time travel on the Chanel show and extravagant looks by Maison Margiela will long continue to excite our imagination. Special attention should be paid to the details of runway looks, namely the luxury jewelry: surreal earrings, elegant bracelets and simple necklace.
Elie Saab’s couture collection turned out to be so striking and original, and we paid attention to the jewelry in the last place.

However, it doesn’t look massive because of smooth lines.
