Riccardo Tisci has been hitting the nail on its proverbial fashion head with near herculean consistency, jumping from a standout urban infused Resort ’12 collection to the consummate shades of ivory and white haute couture gowns presented at Paris Fashion Week. Victorian accented looks were given a tenacious, slightly surrealistic edge by combining materials such as metal chains, nappa leather, pony skin and macramé lace with delicate filmy fabrics of Chantilly lace, organza and plenty of silk tulle.Tisci cites one of his main inspirations to be the Bird of Paradise - both the flower and the mythical animal. Intricate features that include unique paneling, solid and sheer fabric contrasts and an abundance of beading, sequin and feather detailing draw in the eye. The dresses invite you to visually consume, letting your eyes linger as long as possible - only to look back again a moment later, realizing you haven’t even begun to take it all in.
Although the collection might incite a sudden urge to be wed just so one might have an excuse to wear one of the gowns, the collection of white dresses are beyond bridal, despite the traditional implications of the hue. Truth be told, these dresses are best suited to be worn at a red carpet gala held in another galaxy or better yet, another dimension all together.
