Alain Patterson’s Spring Haute Couture “09 collection, a collaboration of delicate gold silk lace dresses were inspired by the butterfly.

Spring/Summer is a time for feeling light and airy in spirit as well as in attire and so was the feeling at La Maison d’Alain when it chose this year’s collection to be as free as a butterfly and to let all women know its ok to just “breathe”.

Latin beauty, Victoria, makes her modeling debut styled by mega wardrobe stylist, Camille Yvette. Every woman’s dream as a child was to play dress up. Here you will see a variety of styles from the bold, the dark and classic with a twist. It’s okay to play dress up even as an adult. Just have fun with it.
