"Head-to-toe" takes specifically strong meaning when referring to couture. And there's no skimping on style when these hats, bags, and heels hit the runway. From Schiaparelli's furry toppers to Dior's crisscross satin stilts and Armani Privé's plumed evening bags, these ornate extras are anything but afterthoughts at the couture shows.
And just as there is a wide range of colors, fabrics, and textures in the clothing, the accessories show a vast variety. While the edgier woman might be drawn to Iris van Herpen's tangled platform booties, ladylike dressers would lean toward the delicate jeweled minaudières Armani Privé used to add sparkle to the collection.
