The festive season is upon us and with it comes the perfect opportunity for magnificence and luxury. The opulent style of this season is an eclectic mix of glam rock, baroque extravagance and disco diva. However, the trend for affluent and elaborate fashion has so far not been entirely practical; the glitz, gold, glamorous and sumptuous fabrics have been for the daring only. New Year, and of course Christmas, bring parties that evoke a deep need within all women; the basic and fundamental requirement to be the belle of the ball.
To achieve this we can go to great lengths, spending hours making our hair perfect, getting manicures, finding the ideal shoes, and applying make-up with dedicated precision. There is one prerequisite necessary for turning every head in the room, if it is not perfect the whole plan could fall apart… the dress. The less intrepid of us now have an excuse to lose our inhibitions and step out in beautiful, extraordinary and outstanding gowns; it is a special time of year after all!
Feel exclusive in the
Delilah dress from Julia Clancey, offering a feminine take on the trend it is for those who aspire to look like a Grecian goddess. If patterns aren’t your style then why not try the glittering
empire dress from Nicola de Main, a bewitching gold to dazzle admirers. Want to be more subtle with the opulence trend? Sneak a peek at the corsetry from
