What do old, leather-bound tomes and tulle have in common? Well, in French designer Sylvie Facon’s eyes, they’re the perfect materials for creating elaborate, library-like gowns (along with lace and rattan, of course). We imagine that Belle from Beauty and the Beast would be a huge fan of the magical frocks – particularly those that are adorned with corsets made from leathery spines and pleated paper skirts.

Saunter over to Sylvie's website and Instagram if you’d like to spy more of her whimsical creations (which also include intricate dresses inspired by paintings, flowers and fairytales, by the way).
