We're thrilled to have the opportunity to speak directly with the designers who create the details we look at and love every day! Cristiano Lucci's gowns, a fashion-forward collection that ranges from dazzling on-trend designs to timeless silhouettes (all with a practical budget in mind!), are utterly elegant and aptly described as affordable luxury. We're particularly into the gorgeous details and ultra-feminine structure, and were thrilled to get a sneak peek into Cristiano's world and creative process. We hope you enjoy!

Now for a look at some of our favorite gowns from this ever so talented designer. Can you say statement back (and illusion neckline, while we're on the subject...)?
