in my very humble opinion, the most beautiful dress is ever is one by Alexander McQueen, can you guess which one?

images from bela's link (these are all s/s 2015):



rightmost dress with the gentle structured pleat—amazing, i love the look of the navy fabric opening up, and how the shadows get caught on the inside of the pleat/fold.



i'm a huge fan both of thin pleats and layered dresses—i really like how the right has a textural "pattern" with the pleats, and the grid pattern in the layer underneath. wonder if the pleated layer moves independently, or not—and where it's attached to the more fitted underneath.



these stark fastening things are so cool. this actually feels very fantasy-novel-y, i can imagine some heroine escaping into the woods and her moss-green dress/cloak is fastened with a flat and wide metal pin or something.



middle dress. i love all bathrobe dress things. reminds me of this rodebjer kimono dress/coat/something/whatever/it/is/it's/pretty/cool:

[bels]

Was going to post some of those but I thought that there were none with just dresses =[

Love the way the outfits are shown three in a row, like a capsule wardrobe.

Ann Demeulmeester SS2012 - collection inspired by the travels and explorations of an imagined 19 century adventuress - featured some absolutely beautiful light dresses, oftentimes sheer, used as sensual layering. Sometimes the dresses were left as delicate, exotic pieces - sometimes combined with heavier duty gear. I love how fragile and elegant they are.

Issey Miyake dress, photographed by Irving Penn. I got the Taschen book at a warehouse sale this summer—hoping to scan some of the lovely photography and ad campaigns in it for you all soon. Conceptually probably my favorite brand ever, although when I visited the Pleats Please store I couldn't figure out how to put anything on. Got lost in a shirt for 10 minutes trying to figure out which hole was the neck hole.

always loved simple, everyday, loose dresses/one-pieces... tried to buy one in japan but they were always either too small or sold out
