Fall 2019 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: See standout looks from Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, and more

WATCH: Celine Dion wears famous necklace from 'Titanic' film

When it comes to Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, "more is more" usually is the go-to aesthetic.

At Givenchy, we saw models such as Kaia Gerber wear full-on bushels of mint green feathers while Gigi Hadid glided along Valentino's runway in an eclectic lavender gown topped with a huge bow.

Most of the shows included elements of surprise that are hard to unsee and caused lots of excitement.

Dior

In addition to lots of sexy see-through black dresses, there was also a surprising pop of a fresh white graphic dress that included the question "are clothes modern?"

Exploring the relationship between couture and architecture, with nods to the universe of Austrian-American architect Bernard Rudofsky, #MariaGraziaChiuri delivered a breathtaking Autumn-Winter 2019-2020 #DiorCouture show in the House's birthplace: 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. The almost entirely black collection and set-up symbolized a return to fundamentals, to the foundations of Haute Couture, confronting it against contemporary lifestyles. Discover its first look, a divine draped white dress embroidered with the name of an exhibition staged by Rudofsky at the MoMA in the 1940s, titled 'Are Clothes Modern.' Check out our Instagram Stories live to discover it in its entirety.⁠ #DiorCouture

"I could write a book about black," Monsieur Dior declared in his Little Dictionary of Fashion. For the just-unveiled Autumn-Winter 2019-2020 Haute Couture show, Creative Director #MariaGraziaChiuri took the concept and ran with it, presenting a mainly all-black affair as the best base for showcasing the art of construction and cut. Lending softness were featherweight tulles and gauzes, with artisanal finishes ranging from dégradé mesh to velvet scrolls. Feast your eyes on some of the masterpieces here.⁠⠀ #DiorCouture⁠
