This French Designer Creates Dresses Like No One Else

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

I agree!! Compared to some of the bizarre, off the wall, unwearable c**p that I've seen in fashion shows, these dresses are stunning pieces of art!!

She does show in fashion shows, on the runway but mostly who you see in the news is the designers with more fame here in the US. Her creations are absolutely fabulous-agreed. Check out her website for even more beauty :)

Too much like fine art in a time when anti intellectualism is de rigueur!

The reason is because they are too accessible. If the dress can be easily interpreted and enjoyed by a "common" person, how can it be used as a means to separate the upper class from them? No, a true high culture designer must seek to alienate those who can't afford what they make

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