As far as most people are concerned fashion week begins and ends on the runway. That’s where most of us are wrong- the pièces de resistance are saved for private presentations.

New jewellery collections, handbags and most-importantly shoes are all shown to a select few invitees at presentations. Miu Miu’s The Women’s Tales, Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda line and Givenchy’s couture collections are all examples of fashion’s creative minds showcasing their work in an intimate setting.

Parisian accessories brand Roger Vivier held their S/S 2013 collection preview during last Paris Fashion Week. Bright turquoise, pinks and mint greens were the chosen palette with hints of beige and peach. They experimented with sequins and heavy lace, working with intricate beading and several different heel styles.
