Bone-Shaking Evening Wear

Designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Brings Fun to Evening Wear

Evenings tend to consist of demure dresses with loads of elegance, but a lack of spirit; however, at the Jean-Claude Castelbajac Fall/Winter Paris 2011 show, there was no such thing as an evening gown that won't strike conversation. Elegant black dresses are painted with full-body skeletons or skulls along with one bold accent color.

These garments from the Jean-Claude Castelbajac Fall/Winter Paris 2011 show would be perfect to wear on the evenings where one knows that they will first be attending a formal engagement and then heading off to a club. The light is sure to reflect off of the white on these dresses, creating an eye-catching effect that will be ultra-stunning while dancing. The skull series within the Jean-Claude Castelbajac Fall/Winter Paris 2011 collection is playful and takes formal fashion to a place of amusement.
