fall for brides

The wedding season is coming and I felt like searching for the cuttest gowns.
I couldn't resist not taking into consideration Vivienne Westwood's Gold Label Lily Gown, which Carrie Bradshaw wore so beautifully in SATC The Movie. No extra words needed.
The second dress is made by the ultimate wedding gowns designer, Vera Wang. It's the perfect choice for a slim figure, suggesting an ethereal presence, walking on thin air.
You can find the third and the fourth ones in Bien Savvy's boutique, a romanian fashion house where it's impossible not to find something perfect for your body type. I especially like the second dress because of the delicate embroidery reminding of long gone good times, and the first one for its greek-goddess allure,simple design and overwhelming elegance and purity.
If you're more of a fairy tale person just go for a chiffonne fantasy, designed by Oscar de la Renta.
Break all traditional rules and get into a grunge-inspired wedding dress designed by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin.
Nostalgic for the domestic 40s? Opt for an ultra-classy Carolina Herrera ensemble. Don't forget the fabulous veil-hat.
Last, but not least, i admired this asymmetrical one shoulder dress with tulle application, designed by David Fielden.

Flashlights

This fall brings on catwalks dashing textures, velvet, embroideries, fur, massive accesories, croc skin, and metallic leather. All incrusted with expensive crystals and bold sequins. It's all about Luxury, sitting in the front row. Or maybe it's just an attempt to revive authenticity. Designers forgot about ordinary materials and bet on the things that last in time, things that are valued generation after another. And maybe in a recession time we all need to hang on to something relevant through its value.
My season's picks:
Alexander Wang's fringed dress and witch-hat. The dress for its versatility and punkish look and the hat for its remarkable shape - it really reminds me of the wicked witch from The Wizzard of Oz.
BCBG Max Azria's luscious leggins. Slippery and decadent.
Balmain kept it's last season flavor and pleased my heart with crystal incrusted party dresses. So flashy you won't need shoes.
Givenchy's embroided dress and feathered sandals. The embroided dress because it's a mix between a rock&roll design and the long lasting ornamental needlework. The sandals because they can put on a burlesque show on their own.
Westwood's drapped dress. Just because it covers the body in a fluid cocoon and follows it's shape.
Stella McCartney see-through dress. because it's the epitome of distinctive elegance. And because it's dangerously sexy.
