Sylvie Facon (1961) makes the unique gowns using anything from book spines to musical instruments.
Fashion, with its primary function of personality expression, has shown us some pretty marvelous works of art in clothes design through the years. And though we’ve even seen dresses lowered into the Dead Sea, these gowns surprised the wardrobe out of us. French creator and fashion designer Sylvie Facon sew dresses from fabrics that she has created and with such attention to detail, they would steal any catwalk.
The designer gowns crafted by Facon ranges from very romantic lacework to high fashion dresses made from book spines, highlighting the incredible versatility of the dress designer skills. Craftsmanship without a fantasy couldn’t conceive such dreamy and one of a kind garments, but in Sylvie’s case, there’s no lack of creativity in her work.
“What inspires me to create these dresses is the beauty of fabrics and colours,” Facon says. “I tell a story, pay tribute to my city and express myself on a theme.”
The whimsical dresses, which often feature lace details and full skirts, each take 250 hours to create.
