Spring 2013 couture at its finest

Stéphane Rolland's spring 2013 couture collection appeared to have jumped from a sketchbook to the Paris runway with barely any alterations.  Rolland sent out neutral creations with garments so demonstrative they seemed impossible to walk in but would be amazing for photo ops, (hint hint The Oscars!).  More structured numbers, like a black trouser suit with stiff ruffles running across both sleeves, were equally as fabulous and beautiful to look at but seemed a bit more ready to wear.
