In his summer haute couture collection Alexis Mabille animated statues of ancient goddesses, turning his heroine into modern Vestal virgin. The architectural look of slim floor-length bustier dresses designer obtained by the use of dense but flowing, following all the body curves crepe. Lace inserts; tulle, embroidered with crystal Swarovski orchids; milk-cream palette; silhouettes, inspired by images of Greek columns – the collection combines solemn monumentality with ease. Heads, necks and hands of mannequins are covered with a myriad of butterflies, ready fly up at any second.
