Additionally, his couture creations paid homage to her penchant for extravagance with beautifully embroidered gowns that were amplified with hip padding.
2.Dior Fall/Winter 2014 Couture

The exaggerated shape of his slim-fitting bodice, enormous skirts, and pastoral embroidery formed a striking and memorable collection for the fall season.'
3.Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2006

There was a sense of Idol’s dandyism at work in the full-skirted, full-lace looks that proved the 1780s and the 1980s (both obsessed with their own view of extravagance) were a perfect match.'
4. Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2013

Perhaps her youth accounted for her decadent, irresponsible love of opulence and finery, but regardless, we’re almost certain it contributed to her sense of whimsy when it came to fashion. For Spring/Summer 2013, Oscar de la Renta celebrated her joyful embrace of vibrant pastels, lavish crystal embroidery, and towering wigs with a modern spin on Rococo styles.'
5. Simone Rocha Fall/Winter 2014

6. Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2011

He then amplified the silhouette through the hips with tiered ruffles.'
7. Ruffian Spring/Summer 2013

8. Rihanna 2015 Fenty x Puma

References to 18th century fashion also appeared in the form of corseted waistlines, doily-lace trims, and brocade embroidery.'
