Chanel Couture Spring 2014 Finale Pregnant Bride Dress

Let's talk about one of my favorite fashion subjects: couture. As you know, couture garments are made-to-order, so the hours have got to add up. New York magazine did some reconnaissance on the process of creating one of the most spectacular dresses of the season: the Chanel finale (yes, the one worn by a pregnant bride!). And, gosh, I'm still in shock trying to process all that time. The dress is actually made out of neoprene, the sporty textile that has been trending—but a scuba gown, that's a revelation! The dress claimed 430 hours of work from the Chanel team, while the medallion at the bust took another 18 hours (crystals, sequins, and pearls embroidered on leather leaves). The dramatic cape is hand-painted, with beads and stones embroidered on top, for a final work total of 450 hours. The hat, called a Bibi, is covered in bronze-painted tulle embroidered with accents like those found on the cape. It took an additional 20 hours of work. Oh, and the thong sandals she's wearing under the dress? They're embroidered in the same manner (with the same materials) as the medallion and clocked in at 15 more hours. Be sure to check out

Chanel Haute Couture Fashion Week Fall 2014

Yesterday Chanel presented a breathtaking collection at the Paris haute couture week. The show theme was “Le Corbusier goes to Versailles” and presented grecian inspired brocade dresses, classic tweeds, boucle jackets, flipflops -all interlaced with silver and gold details- and  punky hairs. Whilst it is still uncertain if  Chanel intended to launch all that amazing white dresses as a wedding collection, all we can say is that they would make any bride look amazing! The show was closed by the beautiful Ashleigh Good, who is in her last trimester of pregnancy. She looked gorgeous wearing a floor-length, full-skirted button-down bridal gown with golden details and a caped jacked. At the end, she was escorted down the Grand Palais runway together with Karl Lagerfeld. See other Haute Couture news: Dior     See more Photos
