This is a super tiny collection by Serkan Curaird, which I’m guessing is a newcomer to the Paris Couture fashion scene. I’ve never heard of him (or her), remarkably, but I’m glad I have now. My fave is the fourth photo of what looks to be a cross between Toucan …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled her Paris Couture collection making it to be one of the most, if not the most, avant guarde this season.
