Having recently bought the Spring/Summer 2006 Haute Couture issue of the GapPress fashion magazine, I happened upon numerous collections and pieces that I had never seen before. From these discoveries came a further realisation: some designers really work well with sheer fabrics, translucent tulle and gauze and lace. I became infatuated with long white flowing dresses or the layered, soft-looking white outfits complete with lacing and veils.
Here are two of those dresses that left a deep impact (note that only the Christian Lacroix one is from S/S 2006; the Dior one is from F/W 2005).
Edit: I forgot to point out which belongs to what collection. The one on top belongs to the S/S 2006 Christian Lacroix Haute Couture collection. The one at the bottom is Dior's F/W 2005 HC collection (by Galliano, of course).
See what I mean? Both look absolutely ethereal. The dresses look like something Greek goddesses would wear. They're out-of-this-world, but beautifully so. The idea of flowers, the use of planet and star motifs - it all makes the whole thing much more supernatural.
Absolutely gorgeous.
