The story behind the photoshoot —

What caught Arminé of RMINE’s eye after viewing Liana Grigoryan’s portfolio was her talent for capturing light and depth. She has striking qualities for what Arminé was looking to collaborate with her gowns

When styling the photoshoot, Arminé knew the location needed to be Vibiana. She always wanted to have her gowns photographed in this historic cathedral, with its lush gardens, white baroque marble column interior which reminded her of the Italian architecture. A big thanks to Amy Knoll Fraser and Chef Neal Fraser for opening your doors and accommodating us with this photoshoot.

Arminé also knew she needed the amazing custom one-of-a-kind jewelry from Marianna Harutunian.

Now the fun part, let’s talk about the gowns!

The Accordion Pleaded Layered Gold Ball Gown, was designed a couple years ago when Arminé got her hands on the gorgeous gold accordion pleated lame fabric. It was then where she finally knew that her sketch that was sitting in her sketchbook would finally become a reality. Double tiered gold earrings, a crystal embellished huge cuff, and long golden spiked rhinestone nail tip completed the look.

The off the shoulder Silk Taffeta Pink Long Cape with pleated detailed big sleeves is draped over the pink and white tulle skirt. This look is finished with crystal hoop earrings and a beautiful hand-made crystal and gold huge necklace.

The beautiful Embroidered Chantelle Laced Ball Gown is adorned with hand beaded gorgeous plunging neckline and back with beautiful baroque inspired earrings.

The Off-White and Pink Ball Gown Dress is designed in an off white gazer with bold gold lamé flowers, lined in off white and pink ombre silk taffeta. This look is finished with a vintage drop gold earrings and a gold sculptured cuff.

The Hand-Beaded Rich Gold Sequined Gown is lined with rich teal charmeuse with an asymmetrical draped back and a high side slit. This look is finished with an amazing rhinestone cuff with extra long crystal fringe draping down from the cuff. Her extra long fringe earrings were matching the bracelet.
