Dolce & Gabbana Throw a Lavish Masked Ball in Venice For the Fashion Flock

When Dolce & Gabbana throw a party, two things are certain: the crowd will be fabulous, as will the clothing. And when the label closed Haute Couture Fashion Week

with a Venetian bash at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta, the stakes were even higher. Fashion favorites like Caterina Murino, Paloma Faith, and Daisy Lowe — all pictured above — were on hand to celebrate, as were Karen Elson, Giovanna Battaglia, and Anna Dello Russo, who spared no detail for the Italian label's masquerade ball in celebration of the Alta Moda collection. The men of the hour, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, got particularly into the spirit, posing with guests in full matador and jester regalia, respectively.

What Makes a Collection Haute Couture?

The word "couture" gets thrown around quite a bit, but in reality it's a term reserved for a rarity of occasions. Haute Couture is a name protected by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and limited to a select group who qualify for the distinction. Which is why the semi-annual Paris Haute Couture shows are such a brief and exciting period! Houses including Chanel, Giambattista Valli, and Elie Saab

(as shown from left to right) create spectacles with ornate and intricate hand-stitched made-to-order work. So what techniques in particular should you be looking out for on the runways? Find out— and zoom in on all the embellishments — in the gallery!

Celebrity Wedding Dresses and the Designers Who Created Them

When it comes to planning your wedding, celebrities can offer a wealth of inspiration. After all, they've got more money/A-list connections than you could poke a bonbonniere at — so why not snoop how they celebrate their big day? Or more specifically, what they wear to celebrate their big day. While you may not have Vera Wang

on speed dial like the Kardashians, you can certainly take wedding dress inspo from this round-up of our favourite designer-clad celebrity brides.

Reem Acra Resort 2014: Living the High Life

Wallflowers need not apply for the Reem Acra Resort 2014

collection. Made for a confident woman, this collection is filled with sharp sheaths, decadent gowns, and plenty of lace and embellishment. The palette has plenty of black and white (a continuing theme for the season), along with pale nudes, bold primary colours, and even a dabble into jewel tones. The emphasis is at the waist with slim belts on trim dresses, fit and flares, and red carpet-worthy ballgowns that nip into Scarlett O'Hara waistlines. Flashes of sheer illusion netting add plenty of sex appeal to cocktail and black-tie styles. Click through to see the full Reem Acra 2014 Resort Collection.

Miranda Kerr Leads the Model-Off-Duty Pack

Of course, models look amazing on the runway, but it's their off-duty street styles that we really love to see. Each girl has her own aesthetic, and we love them all for different reasons. We can thank Kate Moss for proving that leopard goes with everything. We count on Miranda Kerr to sport the most killer accessories and we look to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for her effortlessly styled layers. As always, Alessandra Ambrosio puts a sexier spin on casual cool, and Gisele Bündchen makes even jeans and t-shirts look high-fashion. There's more inside — like Cara Delevingne's punky Brit-girl style and Karlie Kloss's take on the classics — so keep clicking to see all our favourite models and their top street-style moments this year.
