It’s all about the print and flawless stonework on this Designs to Shine Smooth costume. Firstly, premium crystals mimics the print on the skirt.

The stonework is so good, it looks like an exact replica of the skirt, just even shinier! Luxury crystals in Mocca, AB, and Light Topaz create the print.

There is a theory that the structure of the universe is a fractal across a wide range of scales. It is just a portion of what is really out there. This fascination with the heavens and what is beyond has lent itself as inspiration in the fashion world. To illustrate, Thierry Mugler created human-cyborg models, with tinfoil silver, pleated dresses and gold space suits that came complete with helmets. Iris Van Herpen teamed with former Nasa engineer, Kim Keever, to create a line inspired by celestial cartography with a color palette that looked like the sky.
