Fashion, with its primary function of personality expression, has shown us some pretty marvelous works of art in clothes design through the years. And though we’ve even seen dresses lowered into the Dead Sea, these gowns surprised the wardrobe out of us. French creator and fashion designer Sylvie Facon sew dresses from fabrics that she has created and with such attention to detail, they would steal any catwalk.
The designer gowns crafted by Facon ranges from very romantic lacework to high fashion dresses made from book spines, highlighting the incredible versatility of the dress designer skills. Craftsmanship without a fantasy couldn’t conceive such dreamy and one of a kind garments, but in Sylvie’s case, there’s no lack of creativity in her work.
Scroll down to check the designer dresses even Cinderella would envy and let us know what you think about them in the comments.

HAUTE COUTURE!!! Can someone tell me why in the fuck beautiful things like this are not in fashion shows?!?! These are off the charts creative/design/function!! Well done!
I agree!! Compared to some of the bizarre, off the wall, unwearable crap that I've seen in fashion shows, these dresses are stunning pieces of art!!
RIGHT?!?! Instead of overpriced crap that NO ONE could ever wear ANYWHERE!!!
yes Kate could flaunt them with Moss on her boobie
She does show in fashion shows, on the runway but mostly who you see in the news is the designers with more fame here in the US. Her creations are absolutely fabulous-agreed. Check out her website for even more beauty :)
Too much like fine art in a time when anti intellectualism is de rigueur!
As soon as I saw it, I thought the same! What an artist!
The reason is because they are too accessible. If the dress can be easily interpreted and enjoyed by a "common" person, how can it be used as a means to separate the upper class from them? No, a true high culture designer must seek to alienate those who can't afford what they make
Amazing for a costume party or museum or something! Absolutely gorgeous!
They are so pretty.... but I think they would be uncomfortable to wear...
Nope, I can tell. Despite their unconventional appearance, it is still shaped and would feel no different than any other gown. BUT PRETTIER!
You're right, they're made so well and shaped so beautifully they flow naturally with the body! They're Amazing works of very wearable art!
