Sugar plum Valentino
As the models stepped out delicately in the fairy-like dresses, with light layers creating sculptural ovoid shapes, Alessandra Facchinetti's first couture collection for Valentino was loyal to everything the fashion house has stood for

Jean Paul Gaultier's Cage aux Folles
The fluorescent laser beams that raked over the finale of Jean Paul Gaultier's show Wednesday marked a sweet moment for fashion and for the designer, who broke out of his Cages aux Folles to create an exuberant and exceptional collection.
