Those who have always wanted to be the star of their own fairytale will need a dress that fits the role -- for modern women that would be The Butterfly Dress. Although as whimsical as any gown found on a Disney princess, what sets this one apart is the interactive elements that make it that much more magical.
Designed by Turkish designers and sisters Ezra Çetin and Tuba Çetin of Ezra + Tuba, The Butterfly Dress actually boasts hi-tech butterflies that flutter and fly around the wearer. Creating an incredible spectacle, Ezra Cetin explains, "We look forward to becoming the first luxury designer label in the world to really use wearable technology concepts in our collections as a whole, not just a one-shot or a hiatus."
