It needed to dance beautifully and it really did. But, this dress looks excellent but may not be comfortable to dance with.

The Met has a gift shop that usually exclusively sells these types of coffee table books. You can probably shop it online. Might be sold used or even by Amazon.

[@blobloblob]

The porcelain dress reminded me Trinity the Tuck the cup dress

[@nusaibahibraheem8183]

If they were talking about western fashion, they would never mention the influence of other cultures in it, but when ever they talk about other cultures, they always have to emphasize the influence of western culture, I have come to always expect this and they never seem to disappoint.

[@nainasahasaha3354]

A BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

[@stevelira4792]

Nicki Minaj was going to wear the dress at 6:40 to met gala or a similar event

[@kakussubrado8966]

I wish they would also make a gallery about Philippine Fashion. That would be amazing

[@gabcarmelo8231]

Filipino Fashion hasn't reached the arch of American haute couture yet or made a significant impact on what is fashion today. Unlike China who fueled the fashionable aesthetics of Western Fashion for centuries.
