alexis mabille fall 2009 couture

There's so much inspiration to be had in the Alexis Mabille Fall Couture collection. From color to texture to detail and form, every piece is a bride's dream come true. I love the lacy dresses, the black ribbons and the deconstructed forms. While these aren't bridal gowns per se, the elements are all wedding related. I love the idea of wearing black shoes with a white gown, even a wedding gown. It's dramatic but so striking. The use of ribbons throughout the collection inspires me to think about veils and headpieces in new way. How does it inspire you?



From style.com, "Alexis Mabille is the young contender at Paris couture—a new talent with a romantic touch, a French sensibility, plenty of skill at his fingertips, and a refreshing way of thinking about merging old ways with new."
