Aren’t designers kings and queens of their own kingdoms made of beads and ruffles, silks and sequins? Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov certainly are, and to celebrate their ten years of couture as On Aura Tout Vu, all of twenty shows, they put on a regal catwalk with the title Somewhere Else Kingdom .

Expecting the sweet candy floss of a blooming princess? Think again, OATV is not for the faint of heart and the weak of mind and the procession consisted of many looks that wouldn’t look amiss in a modern fairy tale (one where the princess does actually kick butt and rides off into the sunset to party til dawn).

The word fierce best describes this royal outfit, and even the early hour didn’t deter the guests of this house of Haute Fantasy, who clapped and cheered as the reigning duo and their court of collaborators as the “credits” rolled.

Congratulations, and here’s to another decade.
