Lounge music, gastronomic finger food inspired by both DNAs, sophisticated drinks, Couture gowns on mannequins with matching jewelry pieces displayed, and none other than a beautiful intimate crowd in between.
The guests were gifted exclusive live customized sketches, signed by Tony, with dresses in color tones of their choice, and dashed with lots of jewelry sparkles by an illustrator who was performing this art live.
Moving on to the Couture Fall Winter 2019/20 collection, two dresses were chosen as well from this ‘Blossoming Fibers’ collection. The first look that kicked off the show, was made of 100 meters of silk organza ruffles with silk threads. From Alessandra Ambrosio to Harper’s Bazaar; it’s an iconic piece that toured the world with editorials and shoots from different magazine outlets. A mushroom dress…yet redefined.
Fun Fact around it: It was designed to have the deep V-neckline at the back and a boat neckline at the front, Tony twisted it last minute before it hit the runway.
Whereas Look 36, took more than 600 meters of silk organa ruffles; The Ateliers worked overnights to create this intricate effect of mushroom-inspired ruffles, carefully and gradually manipulated. A piece that graced covers and shoots.
Dresses were elected to be presented at Bayt Damas post-event based on their craftsmanship, but also on their impact. Look 2 from the ‘Glitch Gaze’ Couture Fall Winter 2021/22 collection, is a dress made of holographic shimmers of iridescent pleated organza, with Swarovski collar.
It took a second for this dress to go viral; A snap of Leonie Hanne gracing the 2022 Cannes Film Festival red carpet while "flying the dress” just like a butterfly effect. This piece was THE hit dress, with the most engaged social media post and the most requested dress by celebrities and clients.
