Alexis Mabille SS2014

Posted by Tatiana Stolyarova

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.
