Gowns: Unexpected Places - The Adventure Continues!

We launched the "Gowns: Unexpected Places" competition with a spark of curiosity, eager to see where your imaginations would take us. And wow, have you delivered! The submissions are pouring in, each one a testament to the sheer creativity and playful spirit of our community.

The challenge? To take formal gowns and photograph or film them in unexpected, everyday locations. The goal? To shatter preconceived notions and inject a dose of whimsy into our lives. And the results? Absolutely breathtaking.

From Mall Trains to Tattoo Shops: A Whirlwind of Creativity

The journey so far has been nothing short of extraordinary. We've witnessed:

• Train Rides with a Twist: Imagine a stunning, flowing gown gracing the seats of a mall train. Ordinary commutes transformed into moments of unexpected elegance. The juxtaposition of formal wear against the bustling mall backdrop is simply captivating.

• Living Mannequins: Store windows have become living art installations, with models posing as real-life mannequins. The surprised and delighted reactions of passersby have been a delightful bonus!
