American eveningwear has certainly never been at risk of what the late editor and style icon Andr Leon Talley called a famine of beauty. But as a sense of occasion got tied up with safe, predictable silhouettes targeted toward more traditional-leaning clientele (those with deep pockets and a packed social calendar), eveningwear lost its sense of fantasy and, therefore, has lacked in giving its wearers the chance to express themselves or make a real statement

For instance, certain gold fabrics have a more yellow or orange tinge to them, some antique golds, some pink while others are more silvery and cooler

It's a statement maxi dress that turns heads wherever you go

Ball Gowns: Traditional and voluminous, perfect for a fairy-tale look
