A tribute to Hubert de Givenchy, a sense of liberated female independence and couture with a conscience; the first day of fall couture week saw all that and more.

The first day of Paris Couture week 2018 witnessed a culmination of tailored suits, embellished dresses, intricate embroideries, structured tuxedos, tulle ruffles and couture conscious outfits.

1. Anti-fit

Two questions: Is Ronald van der Kemp bringing asymmetry back and are peek-a-boo shoulders the new power shoulders?

 2. Pedal to the metal

This Givenchy ensemble is 50 shades of metallic and we're loving how the structured trousers compliment the intricate cape.

3. A sari reimagined?

Just the kind of outfit every girl needs on her cocktail night. Trust Givenchy to deliver.

6. Minimalism? Nope!

Accessories are a must to amp up a minimalistic look. These chandelier earrings seen on the Givenchy ramp are the perfect counter-balance to a minimalist attire.

7. Grooms, take note! 

Metallic embroidery was also seen on the Givenchy ramp in the form of this longline jacket. Grooms, you watching this space?

8. Make a statement

The chunky ring from on the Givenchy ramp at the Fall Couture week 2018 held our attention... For a really long time. Compliment it with a spell-binding outfit for your cocktail.

9. Old school jam

This outfit is what happens when the '60s walk into a bar, have a drink too many and end up in a Star Wars movie. It's kinda awesome, but its also kinda weird. But it's also kinda awesome. Thank you for befuddling us, Ronald van der Kemp.

10. Lace to the rescue

This Sonia Rykiel ensemble has a rocker-chic-meets-bedroom-siren vibe and is all kinds of gorgeous.

11. Ruffles, please?

This Ronald van der Kemp should be bookmarked by experimental brides for their cocktail night. We're still debating the ruffles though.

12. Girl power

Bubblegum pink with gold detailing? Yes, please. A reinvention of our childhood dreams, we'd wear this frilly Ronald van der Kemp number everywhere. Yes, to the shower as well!

13. A heady mix

Headpieces are best worn when they make heads turns. This Sonia Rykiel piece is no exception.

14. Virginal

Reimagining a white-wedding bride from a modern, feminist perspective, this Givenchy outfit is all sorts of goals for 2018's brides-to-be.
