Designers calculated beautiful dresses and they created a signature for themselves, Glamour at its best. The models rocked the dresses, looking beautiful with a lot of energy. Models were taking fashion in a big way, and experimenting with different looks, styles, and textures. Today fashion does not necessarily mean glamour. It is more a way of life, a reflection of inner beauty.
