Paris, France – Lebanese designer, Tony Ward presented an overtly feminine haute couture collection that evoked visions of a modern fairytale princess. Inspired by nature and romantic landscapes, grandiose gowns with intricate embroidery, shimmering crystal detailing and strategically placed cutouts seamlessly tied the pieces together. The muted tones juxtaposed with the pops of turquoise and raspberry perfectly expressed “natures overwhelming and contradictory forces,” which was the overarching theme of the collection.

The one seemingly misplaced shorts ensemble in a collection rife with form fitting silhouettes, sheer lines, and jacquard appliques was a fan favorite. “I loved the shorts,” one spectator proudly exclaimed after the show.

The finale of the collection was an elaborately meticulous vision of bridal couture with a form-fitting waistline, sheer sleeve detailing and a flowing train with delicate lace intricately woven throughout.
