IF THE CITY WAS A DRESS S/S 09 Emerald Balmain mini reminds me of the sparkling, striking, magical attraction of the emerald city.

S/S 09 Balmain dress

I feel relates to art work and other fashion pieces below.

'When I dream ... I feel the dream as reality. I can't distinguish between dream and reality. When I wake up, I have the feeling I'm still dreaming'.
Chiharu Shiota

I am intrigued by the question asked about her work in the Hayward exhibition guide:
DREAM CATCHERS OR METAPHORS FOR NIGHTMARES?

I feel this work really relates to the look and construction Galliano dress below and Lanvin number. The jewels look intrigingly caught up in the fabric in quite a mystical and almost tattoo like way. I adore this.
