Spring 2011 Couture: Alexis Mabille

I love whimsy, I love fashion, and I love style as a metaphor, so the Alexis Mabille collection sort of surpassed my wildest fashion dreams with its concept: each look was produced twice, once in virginal white crepe and again in bold, brilliant color. Everything was constructed around the idea of lightness vs. darkness and the presentation provokes serious thought on what kind of woman would wear each dress - or what things a woman could have done to transition from one color palette to another.
