Lifestyle Mirror

Practically every developed country in the world has (at least one) fashion week, street style bloggers, and an array of magazines. That's why Couture is still so special—there's only one. With designers like Alexis Mabille, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, and now Raf Simons at Dior dreaming up the most outstanding pieces imaginable, a team of backstage professionals must match their mastery. As Couture Week develops, we'll be breaking down the looks and shopping out the products, so you can indulge in a little makeup magic of your own. We started with Giambattista Valli and Iris van Herpen, and now we've added Chanel nails and face. Enjoy. —Phillip Picardi
