BELLA FLEUR

I enjoy designing very much. When looking for inspiration I love to look through different eras of fashion all over the world. In particular, I thoroughly enjoy the seventeenth and eighteenth century of French Fashion. From jewels, luxurious lace, brocade patterns, to extravagant hair accessories on periwigs. To me this is known as the "Marie Antoinette fashion Era". Although, Marie's frivolous spending led to ruining her reputation, her love for haute couture made her the fashion icon of her day.
With my "Bella Fleur" collection" I wanted to incorporate flowers, jewels, lace, lavish fabric, and rich colors that have inspired me from the 17th and 18th century and give it a Gabrielle De La Garza modern Twist!
Below are a few pictures of my designs from the "Bella Fleur" photoshoot. I hope you enjoy the "Bella Fleur" collection!
