With Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fast approaching this September in New York, my curiosity for 2010's couture is driving me nuts. In an effort to feed this fashion crazed hunger that lingers in my thoughts this time every year I decided to do some research. Much to my surprise, I came across newly published shots from fashion icon Carolina Herrera's Bridal Collection. It goes without saying that the gowns are nothing short of fabulous but there was one in particular (pictured above) that really grabbed my attention. The chic creation I am speaking of is the "Sandro Botticelli" gown from the 2010 collection. Named after the 16th Century Florentine painter, the design of the dress certainly is not shy of its renaissance roots. The gown flows in an almost liquid fashion. It's comprised of jersey material and immaculately detailed with satin bands resting below the bust.
Simplicity, effortless grace and femininity are a few of the sexiest qualities a women can have, and which all should possess. For these reasons I am drawn to the Botticelli gown, wearing it ensures elegance of angelic proportions on your wedding day.
Available at most Saks Fifth Avenue Bridal Salons, Kleinfelds and The Carolina Herrera Boutique, Madison Avenue, NYC or Melrose Place, West Hollywood
I just purchased this dress for my wedding. I couldn't agree more with your characterization--this dress was exactly what I was looking for but I honestly did not expect to find it.
ReplyDeleteI will be married in a Japanese Garden and I think the dress perfectly complements this type of understated yet structured aesthetic.

I just found this dress and absolutely love it. I wanted to ask if anyone was aware of the pricing of this dress? I was trying to find a price online and 2 web sites have it marked at under 300$. This cannot be right? Im new at this whole thing but that seems way to inexpensive right?
ReplyDeleteHow much is this dress and where can I purchase it???
ReplyDeleteIt's $4,000
ReplyDeleteI have a new one for sale... considering all reasonable offers starting at $1700. I bought it but I was already in love with another dress, so I finally caved and bought the other dress. So now I have paid for two dresses and need to make some money back on the first. If you are interested in purchasing this... see my listing on WeddingBee.com, search Carolina Herrara Botticelli
