Another drop-dead gorgeous must-have gown from Modavia Fashion Week was the Rafaella from Donna Flora. This is one of those movie star gowns, the one that she wears as she comes down the long, wide stairs into a room of people who stop dancing and simply stare, agog at the sheer magnificent extravagance of her dress while the man of her dreams crushes a glass in his hand before rushing to her side where he can say something arrogant and jealous and start a fight so the movie lasts two hours instead of ten minutes.


Seriously, look at that gown. We don’t wear gowns that dramatic and luscious in sensible situations where people get along and live happily ever after. This is the gown for love and passion frustrated by jealousy, quarrels and inane disagreements that any normal couple could settle over a cup of coffee and a conversation.

This was shot at Versailles – outside the magnificent palace.

I guess dressing like a diva brought out the diva in me. Shooting was delayed and lasted until sunset. I love the magnificent and opulent headdress that came with the gown. The jewelry is also from Donna Flora and the hair is from Elikatira.

Also, I don’t know if you have heard,but there’s a new skin called Chloe at Belleza and I think it could bring a room of dancers to a stop on its own.
