Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Ulyana

Ulyana Sergeenko (in one of the pieces from her collection, I think), before Jean Paul Gaultier Couture, Paris, July 2012.

Some inspiration for those who are perhaps looking for a less traditional (winter) bridal gown....or indeed a dress for NYE or a glamorous party. It fits so beautifully for this coming season's  extravagant/baroque/opulence trend.

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Natalia

Natalia Alaverdian, Fashion Editor, stylist and photographer, Harper's Bazaar (Russia), before Versace, Paris, July 2012.

Love this lace dress on Natalia - it is dark, glamorous, opulent, seductive - and an early nod to the Gothic trend for the coming season. I would love to see this dress dressed down with biker boots for day....

Recreate Natalia's Look (kind of):

Alice by Temperley Kitty lace dress (my favourite - I was suppose to shoot a lovely model in this dress today but unfortunately she was unwell), Rebecca Taylor lace sleeveless dress, Alice by Temperley Lottie dress, ICB tiered lace dress, BB Dakota When the Night Comes dress, Ellery cutaway dress with lace sleeves or Tibi lace dress

Add a coloured necklace: K Amato layered turquoise necklace, Marni crystal and paillette confetti necklace or Bauble Bar tangelo bib necklace
