Aim : Galas' Goddesses

This Resort 2012 Collection by Marchesa was launched earlier this summer, the latter devoted for red carpet elegant gowns decided to create a collection for jet set, pool and elegant parties...
The photographic aspect wasn't neglected, not even a bit.
Basically the dresses are pure femininity,with classiness. It rather minds us of sculpting on the body, as the drapes give the gowns a historical aspect of Eve especially with silk and chiffon fabrics used. The fine and detailed embroidery marks the body, surrounding the waist, shoulders and breast. In general, this takes the woman from a humanoid form to a supremely royal form.
From a silver, back-showing, long-sleeved dress hugging the whole of the body to the cheetah, mid-short dress with a voluminous form and a turquoise belt defining the perfect waist of the model.. this, is, pure, fine, art.. yet ready to party in VIP. - Edited with J.B

 
 
 
 
 
 

Gucci : Risky Extravagance

Frida Giannini, the creative director of the prestigious brand Gucci, made it to the cover of the special issue of Vogue Magazine, displaying all fashion weeks from Milan to New York.

The catwalk witnessed elegance when the designer displayed flowers and feather embroidery climbing the arms and finishing on the neck, and silk long dresses which was a really nice collaboration!

But what interested me was the wilder aspect of the show, the instinctual one, the one with snake leather, heavy fur, crazy feather and chaotic colors producing a warm catchy image; as seen above, the retro images of the 40s - 70s women, with a masculine-feminine contrast and a more festive touch of the God Father. These looks that seemed somehow bizarre in the show received great criticism from fashion bloggers online. The mix of woody brown, with flamboyant purple and a blooding red is too risky, but in the case of Frida , the result was total classiness. Once again, Gucci didn't disappoint his fans!

The collision of two eras

I've always admired the brand Viktor & Rolf, for their use of imagination, sophistication and pure "out of the ordinary"-ness. The Dutch couple has always given the Parisian Runway a bitter taste, away from the endless elegance of the city -avec un certain je ne sais quoi.
In the above photo, we see the Bridal gown presented by Viktor and Rolf, in their latest collection in Paris. As we focus more and more on the dress, the inspiration of the Middle Ages becomes clearer, as the cuts and the volumes and eccentric proportions highlight the era of  European Kingdoms and their past glories. A bit further, we notice the modern colors, metal-like forms and fabrics and the black skinny trousers.
The fusion of two distant eras on one canvas made this bridal outfit special for it's unusual yet unique look.
