STUNNING DETAIL: FAVORITE BITS FROM COUTURE RUNWAYS, SPRING 2015

It's typical for pieces in couture shows to take 300 man hours to create. This allows for extra gorgeous details you don't see on any other clothes ever. Here are my absolute faves from the Spring 2015 shows. I'm especially taken with all the silk flowers! Something I've been working on incorporating more into my own work.
