Carlie Wong put on one of the most gorgeous shows I've seen up close in person :). The show took place at The Urban Winery in Vancouver. All of the proceeds from this incredible evening went towards supporting the F Cancer movement.
Carlie Wong's Atelier Couture Collection: featuring evening wear and bridal was divided into two separate shows. The same models graced the runway for both shows. They had very simple hair; pulled back into a classic and versatile bun. The make up was eye heavy with extreme smokey eye shadow. It sort of reminded me of twiggy only without the over exaggerated lashes.
The first show had a brilliant black, red and gold colour scheme. The draping was fantastic; I remember a class once where Carlie mentioned she really liked draping and I have to say I can see why...she is incredible at it. Fringe detail and embroidery contributed to the feminine beauty of the dresses. I felt like the collection was well balanced. It had so much elegance but also a playful daring presence...the thigh high slits on some dresses and the sheer bottoms of others revealed a somewhat provocative side that I loved! A few of my favourite pieces from show one were:
The second show was bridal couture. I strongly recommend everyone to take a few minutes and check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wVcOz2M-3c. Crisp whites and silver glittered across the runway. There was lots of sparkle and embroidery in this sensational collection. My favourite dress of show number two...actually of the entire evening is below. I love the beautiful structured shoulder emphasis, and the high neckline at the front that drops into a cowl at the back literally took my breathe away!!!
I think it is pretty safe to say that a few pictures do a fantastic job of getting the idea across...BUT even they can't do these wonderful work of art dresses justice!
