French designer Sylvie Facon (who made the viral Dress Made Out of Old Books) creates magical and unique custom dresses! She has created a very unique style thanks to her multiple talents, notably painting, embroidery, and textile creation. Here’s more info about her work (translated from French) and some beautiful examples of her magical dresses: 

“Over the years, Sylvie Facon personalizes her style and develops her own technical palette. Lace appears obvious, worked alongside guipure, tulle and muslin which she juxtaposes to create subtle ranges of colors and daring plays of transparencies.

Imbued with poetry, Sylvie Facon’s dresses are like paintings made up of textile patterns, draping effects, embroidery stitches, touches of paint and shards of pearls.

The designer’s favorite fabric, lace’s properties provide a multitude of uses allowing it to illustrate its “canvases”: the transparency of the background tulle, the dullness of the patterns that it cuts, applies or inlays, the lightness of the fabric which allows him to gather and skirt his creations, the appearance of the threads used for manufacturing and the numerous colored ranges which are regularly renewed. 

Sylvie Facon draws her inspiration from nature, vegetation and flowers, while having a pronounced interest in Pre-Raphaelite painting and the dreamlike world of tales. Certain textures of flowers remind her of fabrics such as seersucker, velvet or even silk with a changing effect, while their shapes suggest the volume of certain dresses. Through their diversity, plant-style lace provides him with a whole range of patterns that resonate with his creative universe: floral patterns of roses, peonies, tulips or irises, in bloom, in buds or in bouquets; Banchage motifs, foliage, grasses and other vines arranged in rhythmic compositions, spidery motifs of delicate lace.”
