ok, so normally the designer gown realm doesn't really appeal to me. over-priced, over-ruffled, looks like you'd only survive 10 miuntes in them because you'd be oxygen deprived from the severe corseting after 5. that kinda thing.

but goodness me, do these dresses fly in the face of that declaration.

is it the art masterpiece connection?
almost certainly.

and the polka dots of the degas dress.

polka dots!

each dress was inspired by a piece of artwork, all designed by Carolina Herrera. all pretty darn cool in their own way.

[bonus points if you can identify all the paintings. without google. cheaters.]
