The Best Couture Week Dresses
Coming to a red carpet near you...
Once the mainstay of society belles' wardrobes, Haute Couture's dream-like gowns are now just as likely to be seen on the red carpet, making Couture Week a sneak preview of who'll be wearing what come awards season. In one of the most wearable Couture Weeks yet, we take a look at the key gowns from the shows - and who we'd like to see wearing them on the red carpet.

Best of Couture Week: Frank Sorbier
This incredible dress was shown like a blank canvas, with different light patterns projecting on top. Not sure a red carpet anywhere would be able to accommodate this (maybe Katy Perry would dare to try it out?), but we were blown away by Sorbier's creation.
