Haute couture is French for 'high fashion', and there is no brand more synonymous with high fashion than Chanel. This season of couture was anything but average for Chanel, who introduced a surprising ecological element to their typically intricate pieces. For this collection, Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel's team of designers focused on utilizing organic materials—such as paper and wood chips—as details on garments.The amount of time and energy that goes into just one couture piece is known for being arduous even without this added challenge. Watch the video to see Chanel's design team hard at work creating some of fashion's most fabled regalia. See more photos from the show on the Chanel website.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but its one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And its this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealingat least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, its easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you dont have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold outyet.
