Couture creations like this, affordable? Yes, thanks to the new online site, COUTURiSSIMO, the brainchild of its founder, Frank Cintamani, { also the founder of the Asian Couture Federation – shown below } its Vice President, Emily Hwang {also shown below } and its board director, Cindy Zhang.

And this is one brand that knows how to set a table for its VIP guests…
Today, dear Hadley Court readers, we are going to bring you the magnificent creations of one of COUTURiSSIMO’s most renowned couturierers, Dubai based Michael Cinco.
Michael, born in the Philippines, has made Dubai his home for the past 18 years and is the city’s most famous fashion designer. Michael is on the right in this image below.
Celebrities the world over collect and wear Michael Cinco’s creations, and below is Jennifer Lopez, who wore his magnificent velvet gown inspired by the stained glass windows of St. Chapelle in France, in one of her recent singing appearances on American television.
Are you ready to be wowed? Here is a better image of the Michael Cinco dress JLo is wearing above, as modeled at a fashion show at the Palazzo Versace.
Mr.Cinco is well known by fashionistas and celebrities in Asia, Russia and Dubai for his spectacular gowns, encrusted with Swarovski crystals and intricate embroideries. Below is Mila Kunis, wearing a couture gown he created for her appearance in the movie, Jupiter Ascending.
Here are a few of his gowns shown in COUTURiSSIMO’s debut show at the recent Paris Fashion Week.
We love how he brought an English garden to life in this beautiful creation, full of crystal encrusted blooms, below.
Which neckline do you like better, the one on the shorter version or the one on the longer version?
Here’s a close up of the shorter version. We love that pleated, ruffled feminine cap sleeve, too.
Do you think that’s a detail we might see in the interior design world soon?
Another…
Are you noticing how almost every camera is capturing images as his models parade down the runway?
We wonder who will be wearing this to the 2017 Oscars?
Which star do you see in it, readers?
And if your taste runs to something a little more form fitting, but with a cape for drama…
And now, thanks to COUTURiSSIMO, many of us can affordably buy and wear a subtly sparkly, crystal encrusted Michael Cinco gown, too, like the one below, available for pre-order on their site for..
479.00!
Here’s the back detail.
We love the genius behind the concept of COUTURiSSIMO and look forward to visiting the site often.
And, we would love to hear if you find something on their site that perfectly suits you!
