Marchesa
The design duo Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman made the art of wearing a real occasion.Opulent Indian inspired dresses reflected deep cultural influence that was both rich and varied. The white mini dress pictured above is the perfect marriage of tradition and modernity. It is the best of East and West, if you will. Sensuous and graceful, this flirty dress certainly holds its own in exquisite embroidery.

Christian Siriano
Ever since I watched Christian Siriano on season 4 of “Project Runway,” I wanted him to be my new best friend. Fast forward five years to where my wildest dreams come true and I am able to be in the same room as him. This dress makes me want to be a model in NYFW or a ballerina in some fantastic play! I love the color, the tulle and the overall softness of this particular piece.

My favorite look was a champagne colored hand embroidered ombré tulle gown with a sable fur and lace capelet. It had beautiful, intricate beading on the bodice and gold undertones found in the white tulle skirt. The entire ensemble just uttered luxury and looked as though it was straight out of a fairytale.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria
It really is incredible how Max Azria is able to continually push forward and develop the body conscious silhouettes that are the backbone to the Hervé Léger brand. At first the collection lent itself to some harnesses and dimensional pieces, but quickly evolved to structured yet soft shaping that incorporated artful fine draping techniques; a favorite was this navy and black combo piece sporting ultra-hip half-length sleeves.
