She’s always one of my favorites at the Met Gala because her outfits are just so over the top, in the…

As the collection progressed, hand beaded details and floral appliqués began to blossom, giving life to the pieces. Ruffles and fringe moved effortlessly like…
Light as air is how we felt watching the Dennis Basso Spring/Summer 2017 line unfold. Chiffon, lace and silk organza breezed through the catwalk in a delicate fashion.

Exquisite beading and luminescent sheen created more depth to a few of the pieces. A mix of gowns, above the knee dresses, and vests were…
