Imagine garments that are hand-cut, hand-sewn and embroidered to perfection in order to fit every idiosyncrasy! Well these pieces do actually exist!
Haute couture clothing is purchased by only those who can afford to spend tens of thousands on one sole item. This item however has been created for their figure only. Thousands of hours have gone into making it and the end result offers a wow factor like no other!
There are however only a few people that can afford such designs. These people tend to be the wives of tycoons, princesses and of course the A A list celebs! After all, these items are not the knid of attire you would don for the local cocktail establishment.
Such styles are seen hanging off the limbs of those walking the red carpets, at prestigious black tie balls and high-class charity events!
They are delivered to the doors of those who invest in them in tissue filled boxes in order to protect the hours of endless work that has gone into each individual item!
Intricate embellishments such as bead detailing, lace-up ties, jewels and any other attachments are in general sewn on by hand in order to create not only a very precious piece, but also something that is very much individual.
These pieces do however encase the figure in a fashionable armour, one that really accentuates every asset in order to reveal a body that screams ‘look at me!’.
Versace have certainly created some super figure enhancing pieces over the years! The outfits really work to create that sculptured look, this look in turn enhanced all of the assets, pushing the bust up and pinching the waist in.
The end result is something that makes a complete statement, nothing else is in fact required in order to enhance the look even more so!
