Unbelieveable fabrics and gowns that trail behind.  These designers are in the business of dreams!

 

You won't believe the wedding gown with unbelieveable sleeves!

Wow!  They are talented and the collection is fabulous.  I think almost everything in their collection could actually be worn!  Most Haute Couture is usually art, and gives you an idea to start with.  If you like a gown, they modify it for you.  But these gowns were wonderful, feminine, and wearable.  I mean, wearable if you are one of those who attends functions to actually wear one of the gowns.  Not me.  But I could see a few as Oscar fodder!

Many of them were beautiful. 

 

I did think a few of them were over the top and awful😳Especially the bird feather creations. 

 

The wedding dress, I'm sure was a work of art, but I can't imagine anyone actually wearing it. I was afraid that poor tiny girl would collapse from the weight of it.

Thanks for the find. They are some nice, pretty, and feminine clothes. Refreshing. I could even wear a few of the slim skirted outfits.

When they presented the wedding dress, I was worried she would fall.  OM, she walked funny, as if she was swaying with the weight?  She just walked funny.  She is a top, top model, so I know it wasn't her.  Yes, the sleeves were an artsy flair, for show I am sure.  But wowow, the bead work was amazing!

Stunning!!!! The work of true designers. Other self proclaimed designers should not flatter themselves. And almost all of it made sense to me. Thanks for sharing!
