Valentino Haute Couture
Valentino’s Haute Couture collection, created at their Roman atelier, consists of unique, handcrafted pieces that cross the cultural divide in their appeal and demand. Their signature “wow factor” is especially seen in these two nude creations, one tea length and sexy, the other full length and romantic.
Balmain
Who said women must wear dresses to a wedding? This Balmain voluminous pleated pant ensemble will instantly make you the talk of the town by breaking the fashion mold and doing so in bold, bright colors. We love how the look can be captured perfectly both with the sleeveless cutout top or a slightly more conservative but equally fashion forward wrap jacket.
Oscar De La Renta
This black, French Alençon lace, fit to flare evening gown is a jaw-dropping statement maker! Guests can only have eyes for the woman who wears this masterpiece. The defined corset and sweetheart neck exude sophistication while the feathered lace floral appliques hand sewn along the skirt declare Oscar De La Renta a master of the craft.
Dressalicious
Farah Al Sharhan, accomplishes the often contrasting styles of “body conscious” and “architectural” beautifully with Rainbow’s tightly tucked layers of silk doir accentuating any curvy girl’s figure, while the statement shoulders lend a very avant garde feel, that will leave you being the talk of the wedding. The silk crepe half skirt is the perfect flirty finishing touch, guaranteeing an eye catching evening on the dance floor.
