$1.5 Million Dresses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Danasha Luxury Gown by Jad Ghandour is a Stunner

— March 12, 2010 — Art & Design
Designer Jad Ghandour will debut the Danasha Luxury Gown at Miami International Fashion week. The couture dress will incorporate diamonds and gold as well as other fine materials and precious gems.

Though Ghandour is no stranger to dressing well-heeled ladies (Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza recently wore one of his creations), the designer has never created an item like the Danasha Luxury Gown, which will cost a whopping $1.5 million.
