Some of these dresses and prints and colors are just so beautiful, they actually make me happy just looking at them! Like art.

^the whole art thing could be inspired by the current 90s trend too
i remember seeing a news show about that
women wearing suits and dresses that had picasso's designs on them

these prints are georgeous! especially the Jean Paul Gaultier's stockings.

wow i had no idea those fur things were just prints at D&G
and also the "fringe" prints..
got confused since they had 'real' fringe at Lanvin.. colours choices are super alike

thanks saann!
