I was looking through Versace Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection and suddenly something struck me.
One of her dresses would have been the perfect costume at Chris and Fann’s wedding. Remember I mentioned in one of the captions of my previous entry that I felt like Alice in Wonderland that night? This is exactly it.
Vivid pastels, geometric prints, baroque curlicues combined to create short dresses for the woman-still-a-girl. For Spring, Donatella Versace had been inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (which comes out next March).
No wonder.
Take a look, and don’t forget the shoes! Who cares if they’re so this-season? They are my favourite accessory and I like to imagine myself still wearing them next Spring while having scones and tea in the English garden.
These are the red-carpet worthy dresses. The best part is, they actually look good with that wind-blown, tousled hair. There’s something effortless, carefree yet whimsical about the “red-carpet girl” in these frocks.
A Jolly Affair 
those shoes are like “wow”…
I really really love that light blue gown…you’ll look great in it… 🙂
e shoes are very nice…very high too..if you wear them I don’t want to stand next to you..haha 🙂
May I know where did you get the Doraemon battery-operated fan? Thanks!! You look good btw
Hi Joanne,
Ironically, I spotted the very same model with ‘Alice in Wonderland’ dress (picture 1) in our last weekend newspaper in Sydney.
It seems this 22-year-old Australian model’s name is Abbey Lee Kershaw who has taken a break from last season’s catwalk to recover from her knee surgery.
Apparently, she told the reporter that the opening for Versace was a ‘really big step’ for her because she said that she had mostly been perceived as the sweet-looking, quirky girl. So, by opening a very womanly, mature show, she got the chance to show the industry her other side.
I hope you don’t mind me filling you in with this news.
Thanks Shirley for sharing, I love it when people contribute new information, that way this becomes a marketplace where we learn from one another! 🙂
