Unique Formal Gowns

With the arrival of a new season, Papilio launched a new collection of unique evening dresses – Admire. This fashion collection moves away from styles that are more romantic and dreamy. Instead, Papilio designers focused on creating edgy styles of evening gowns and cocktail dresses that reflect the latest high-fashion trends.

While browsing this collection, your eyes will be drawn to the stylish architectural designs, interesting cut-outs, plunging necklines, and bold details. The colours featured in this collection were chosen from the most trendy palettes. You will see many different shades of vibrant reds, brilliant blues, and complimentary neutrals. The selection of colours will flatter any skin tone and make your choices endless. Not only Papilio designers offered a lot of colour variations, but they also created a lot of different silhouettes, including full-length gala gowns, elegant tea-length cocktail dresses, and fun and sexy mini dresses. Of course, not a single Papilio evening fashion collection will be complete without a romper or a romper with a detachable skirt. The Admire collection is a testament to a unique and exceptionally designed fashion for special events. Here are some fashion highlights featured in this gorgeous line.

A structured corset with boning is every girl’s best friend. It is one of the biggest fashion trends. This type of bodice will give you a tiny and dainty shape to your waistline. Papilio designers offered several styles featuring this beautiful look. For example, style #544 is a particularly unique dress. The dress’s bodice has a drop waist effect while extending over the skirt’s top, which adds length to the torso and complements the overall look. Choosing such unique evening dresses will allow you to express your style and personality.

Sometimes an unusual neckline sets the tone for the entire fashion look. Admire features many flattering cut-outs and necklines that are sure to give you a glamorous feel. Browsing this collection, you will find gorgeous necklines that make these unique evening dresses truly one of a kind. Papilio team of designers paired their interesting silhouettes with remarkable details like handmade 3D decor, feathers, and jewels to add an extra touch of glamour and couture. For example, style #542-8 has one of the most interesting necklines in this evening fashion collection and will be the perfect option for a high-fashion, high-glam occasion!

Beautiful floral embellishments are a hallmark feature of Papilio. You will see them in all of our bridal and evening fashion collections. However, Admire takes a turn in a totally new direction. Working on this line of unique evening gowns, Papilio designers left their signature hand-made flowers but added more jewels and feathers for a touch of extravagance and glamour. Feathers are artistically placed and allow each evening gown to stand as an exclusive piece of fashion. For example, style #553 has a stunning bodice made entirely out of feathers making this bespoke design extraordinary.

This fashion collection of unique dresses presents more haute couture designs than any other evening collection launched before. You will see clean lines, accentuated cups and striking details that add structure and class to these evening gowns. Inspired by the haute couture runways, these unique dresses will be brought to our boutique soon. For example, style #568 is an excellent example of architectural design. This gown has asymmetrical sleeves, pointed shoulders, multi straps, and a high-low skirt, all crafted with technical splendour.

Prom Dresses With Slit: Side Slit & Front Slit

Nothing completes an evening gown like a pair of exceptionally designed sleeves. The sleeves offered in this collection are stylish, and they will be look-makers for a real fashionista. You will see long fitted sleeves with defined shoulders, bishop sleeves with peekaboo slits, and short feathered sleeves. These unique evening dresses are for a woman who loves high-end fashion, and who feels confident enough to show off wearing a stunning design. For example, style #550 brings sleeves to a new level. These soft tulle sleeves start at the high neckline and cover the tops of the shoulders, ending just at the midpoint of the upper arm. What a neat design solution.

The evening dresses offered for the next season present not only highly fashionable designs but also the highest quality of fabrics, embellishments, and needlework.
