This French Designer Creates Dresses Like No One Else
Fashion, with its primary function of personality expression, has shown us some pretty marvelous works of art in clothes design through the years. And though we’ve even seen dresses lowered into the Dead Sea, these gowns surprised the wardrobe out of us. French creator and fashion designer Sylvie Facon sew dresses from fabrics that she has created and with such attention to detail, they would steal any catwalk.
The designer gowns crafted by Facon ranges from very romantic lacework to high fashion dresses made from book spines, highlighting the incredible versatility of the dress designer skills. Craftsmanship without a fantasy couldn’t conceive such dreamy and one of a kind garments, but in Sylvie’s case, there’s no lack of creativity in her work.
Scroll down to check the designer dresses even Cinderella would envy and let us know what you think about them in the comments.

They are so pretty.... but I think they would be uncomfortable to wear...

Nope, I can tell. Despite their unconventional appearance, it is still shaped and would feel no different than any other gown. BUT PRETTIER!

My lovely wife would have loved these. In my mind's eye I can see her in the 2nd Floral Garden or the 3rd Old Town gown. She was petite with flowing blond hair. God I miss her so much.

My sympathies on the loss of your wife. I believe spirit is eternal, and we will be reunited with those we've loved upon our passing. May you find solace in remembering the love you shared, and may you know the comfort of her spiritual presence until your happy reunion *

As a bibliophile that tries to collect rare and old books that first dress broke my heart. I'd really like to know if the model could walk in the music theme dress.

You do realize that just the COVERS for the books were used for that one, right? When old leatherbound book covers get worn out, the covers are discarded, and new ones are put on. That is quite possibly where she got the book covers from.

Oh my gosh! These are exquisite pieces of art that function as dresses. They actually brought tears to my eyes with their intricate beauty and practical function. The designer is a genius. Simply a brilliant genius that should be a household name. If I had a fancy do to go to, I would wear one of these gowns before I’d ever pick a world-famous designer. These are far more creative and reflective of my personality than Gucci or Chanel ever could be.
