00:01It is tradition for each haute couture show to close with the unveiling of a wedding dress,
00:05a truly moving moment that sees designers compete creatively and in attention to detail.
00:12Here is a selection of several brides seen on Parisian runways,
00:15from the traditional to the more unexpected, like Couturier Stéphane Rolland, who loves breaking the mould.
00:23I always have fun creating the bride, and they have another aspect in terms of variety that I can create
00:28for a bride.
00:30We were inspired by the sunset, and that is the idea behind the show.
00:34We began with the morning sunrise and moved towards dusk, and so the bride adapts to this like an amber
00:38-coloured cloud.
00:41For Lebanese designer Eli Saab, the bridal gown follows the theme of the collection,
00:46with over-the-top volumes embellished with floral embroidery.
00:50In this collection, the bride is covered in rose petals.
00:54People need dreams, depth and lightness.
00:57The mischievous Jean-Paul Gaultier proposes a showgirl version,
01:01a lace body covered in butterflies and flowers, teamed with the lead dancer's magnificent headdress.
01:06This bride is only a feather.
01:12Dior's leading lady wears a bustier dress, scattered with petals and diamante, a contemporary romantic vision created by Raf Simons.
01:19You'll be jumping for joy in Chanel, with a pair of couture trainers accessorizing a light, suggestively transparent dress.
01:26We are in 2014, we can still do lots of different things, and I like that when girls wear a
01:31dress worth thousands of euros,
01:33they still have the same allure as when they wear something sporty from Adidas.
01:36And each show is a source of inspiration for those famous faces on the front row.
01:40Carl did my wedding dress for me, which was, you know, a couture dress.
01:44So, I mean, I saw the amount of detail and worked it.
01:48These dresses, only worn for a day, deserve everyone's attention.
