Lefave Reception - Gabrielle Bleue


Gabrielle Bleue

Name: Gabrielle Bleue

Inspiration:
Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC

Interpretation:
Flowing kimono and matching gowns with petals details

Description:
Her petal details are in Cadena lace of pinks, blues, and golds, with flows of pale blue, pale fuscia, and dark fuscia silk charmeuse. The floral colours, the underlying floral pattern on the lace, and the petal-like shape of the bell sleeves, mimicked in the hemline and bustline of the gown emphasis the floral inspiration for the set. The inside of the coat has a centre panel which contrasts with the main colour of the gown to further bring out the detail. The seams in the sleeves are hand bound, as well as the seams inside the kimono where they would be visible through the lace panel.

The gown is fully lined in silk and visible seams hand-bound as well. Ten metres of silk live and breath as the wind whisks them into a sea of colour.
