It’s all about vintage inspired looks this season but not when it comes to the actual act of shopping. Let us introduce you to the concept of contemporary shopping, in the form of Ariella.com.

Upon entering the Ariella site you’ll find a stunning line of couture cocktail and evening-wear dress designs featuring elegant feminine tailoring and luxurious fabrics.  Exciting, yes, but cocktail dress shopping is hardly revolutionary. 3D cocktail dress shopping however, is. If you’ve ever wished you could see the way that fabric falls or how that shape fits the body, the textures, or the way the light might reflect those sequins, all from the comfort of your cosy home, then 3D shopping is your new best friend.

With a whole host of glamorous fashion awards under their beautiful belts it’s no surprise the Ariella couture line also comes with grand price tags and will set you back upwards of £180. However, for day-dream’s sake  we thought we’d share a couple of our favourites with you… 

Bring out your fiery side with Caprice, this sexy scarlet number is bold and beautiful at £240. Bringing a bit of 30’s femininity to the mix, the £510 black lace Gabriella dress would make us as star of our very own fairytale. The final dress to catch our eyes with a glint of glitzy sequin and bead detail is the gold fishtail Gisele dress which comes in at a show stopping £650.  

To see these designs in all their 3D glory you’ll need a compatible monitor and a pair of 3D glasses. We hope this shopping revolution will soon spread its wings to the likes of ASOS and other purse-friendly sites , but in the meantime check out the rest of fabulous Ariella here. A girl can wish.
