Welcome to the point where art, fashion and beauty intersect. Stumble into the world of wearable fantasy from the mind of Canadian fashion designer Denis Gagnon, in response to both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Lancôme's iconic rose.
Hurry up - tomorrow is the last chance to see the dress!
Some stories are retold, over and over again, gaining a life of their own through adaptation and interpretation - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of these stories. Originally written in 1865 by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Caroll and published with illustrations by John Tenniel, the story has been spun and re-spun by artists of all sorts for nearly 150 years. Through every version it has continued to capture the childlike imaginations of the young and old alike.
This high-fashion artwork is characteristic of Gagnon's signature style that boldly employs metal fringes and exposed zippers to create airy, sculptural works. The result: a very modern, confident Alice. The dress is the centerpiece of an environment inspired by modern cinematic interpretations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, creating yet another link in the chain of retelling and reinterpreting the classic story.
