A dress can be a work of art. And perusing through the 2012 Resort collections there are many that fit that description.

These are feats of beauty that you may never buy, may never even chance to borrow; and if you did find yourself wearing one it might be for one occasion only, kept sacred to those hours in which the dress' fabric swirled around your body and transformed you into someone else.

It doesn't matter which, the point is the transformative quality of an amazingly designed dress. And that, no matter if you wear them or not, it doesn't really matter - because a work of art is also there to be admired.
