So here we have some of the more fun things - lots of bright color, interesting texture and patterns.

Then we venture into somber for a brief moment with these slightly more conservative looks. But check out the handbag hat on the second model, and the bedroom slippers on the first.

This looks like a Project Runway challenge: use luxe fabrics to create a modern-day Cinderella look - before she meets her fairy godmother.

Then back to more conservative, with these relatively "normal" long dresses.
Can you believe these are all part of the same collection?
