Wow that was wonderful to watch. The work put into the dresses with embellishment. Didn't love all the outfits but so appreciated the work. The Last one was stunning.

Too bad nobody mentioned that animals lived in squalor and were electrocuted so he could make money on his fashions.

Thank you for sharing such a lovely collection. I love wearable art and this is definitely art. What great inspiration for my own projects.

So beautiful. I would love to feel some of the fabrics used they are so rich looking and the embellishments are swoon worthy. I doubt many were done on a sewing machine.
