  2. Great selection, very feminine trend, sophisticated as lace, but at the same time more edgy like the cut outs. Love Marchesa roses!

  29. Laser cut patterns are incredible! It's interesting to think that none of this would have been possible a few decades ago. Technological advancements in fashion ftw!

    ReplyDelete
  30. The craftiness of cloth, that it can be manipulated my a very old fashion hand, as well as by the burning blade of a high tech light.

    I think the sweet and simple apron dress up top is still my favorite.

    ReplyDelete

  33. Love the Erdem. So happy to see something fresh and gorgeous from stalwart old Pringle too, and the Asos pink skirt either has my name or my hands all over it. Or both. Or breadcrumbs from lunch. O bother.

    Great fresh edge to all of it.

    Merci pout toute...

  34. Love these cut out in all garments. They are really pretty and delicate.

  35. CC what a fabulous list of images to drool over! I cannot even imagine if it is possible for laser & lattice techniques to get even more intricate! The Marchesa dress is like an art piece, i would frame it up!
    also the Jean Paul Gaultier Couture piece is dreamy!
    I love the Sigerson M flats, they are gorge!

  50. Like cut-out dolls. There is a sense of delicacy throughout each design that makes each piece so fragile and so distinct. I especially love Ginta Lapina for Alberta Ferreti. A doll in doll's clothes.
