Prom 2007

Why be a prom queen when you can be a goddess? You don't go to school looking like every other girl, so why should your prom dress get lost in the crowd? Prom is the perfect excuse to be as ostentatious as you want without any repercussions- and lucky for you, I've scoured New York City's fashion district on foot in search of the most unique and fabulous new gowns for Prom 2007.

Inspired by ancient goddesses, mystical mermaids and New York City's most vibrant color pallets, I found the most decadent and uninhibited dress designers with amazing gowns deserving of your big night. My picks are all about shine, sparkle, exotic shapes and lush colors. With a talented staff of hair and makeup artists, photographers and 6 fierce models, Kiwibox invaded a luxury Chelsea apartment complex and the famous W Hotel for our most stunning and extravagant prom photo shoot yet.

I love all three dressed in the top picture on this page! The
low-cut top of the one of the right is perfect - not too much, but
just enough to be sexy.

Ya know, I log onto kiwibox almost every day, and I don't remember
seeing this article. Some really cute dresses here, I especially
like the copper one on page 4.

It's fun looking back at old trends. Granted these aren't really
that dated, but if you follow fashion then you'd be able to pick
up, some-what, on the year the dress came from.

foxlet, I agree. Many of the pictures are REALLY underexposed (not
enough light), which also does not show the true colors of these
dresses. And, we all can tell that the guy was calling the
photography shots OF COURSE! A girl with a brain (unless they were
bi or lesbian) wouldn't be calling shots of girls laying sexually
on pool tables and having shots down the models tops. It's just so
degrading!

Dear Photographer: Get real, this is a site full of teen girls,
not boys.

-Anna

P.s. LEARN PHOTOSHOP! It helps.

Friend Note

The photos bug me. A lot. There's not enough light in some of the
shots, and some of the photos are very poorly cropped, so the
model looks lost amid the beige background. Also, there were no
standing shots of some of the dresses, so you couldn't see the hem
properly. Oh, and the photographer apparently couldn't be bothered
to bend his knees if the model was sitting down, so you get that
oh-so-wonderful looking-down-her-top shot, with the added bonus of
making the model look like she has a gigantic head.

The dresses themselves are pretty, though, and I rather like the
text.

The Charlize theron dress you can get it way cheeper at windsor's

didn't want to buy it for me! :[

I do like the dresses and the article was written well. But like
the majority of the users, I have a problem with the poses and the
models. Way too friggin' skinny. How they're even able to move is
beyond me.

Well I guess everybody has a different sense of style. But I
really liked these gorgeous dresses, especially pages 12, 2, and
6. The black dress was also quite daring. Thanks!

first off i have to say i love that light blue dress. this article
only shows long dresses what about shorter length dresses for
those short people. they were all very similar in style i would
have prefered to see a variety of styles like long, short,
strapless, straps, knee length etc etc... you get the idea...

I'm really into fashion design and these dresses are well made.
The bright blue and pink are my favorite. it reminds me of project
runway but more finished.

i personally think that all of these dresses ugly and not worth
the price they have listed for them.Also the dresses would not be
able to fit someone thats big. The whole world isnt a size 5.
Where are the size 16 dresses????

wow. SO there are some pretty dresses in the article.
Unfortunately the photography had no idea how to pose models or
make use of a background in 9/10 of the shots. Did anybody else
notice there was a lot of Jovani dresses? Kiwibox- how about some
variety???

not to be a total loser but ...i dont really like any of those

among the "bigger" people to and none of these dresses would work

The dresses are divers, for everygirl there is something she likes
wheter it's sexy mature and strong or girly and so on.
I didn't like the photography on this issue, sometimes it's too
dark, too much shadow or the pose doesn't show you the way the
dress "falls" on the body.

the lighter turquoise dress is absolutely gorgeous. i love it! its
a little out of my price range, but if i wanted to splurge, that
would be my pic for sure. and as for overall, the models are
hideous and some of the poses are a little awkward.

The white dress was pretty, but why wasn't the model posing nicely
to show off the dress instead of laying splayed out on the floor?

The dresses were good - some a little too revealing for prom i
think, but what do i know - but the photographer didnt frame most
of the photos as they should have been to highlight the dresses.

Great dresses! Nice job putting together a group of unique
designs and bold colors. Most of the dresses really pop and will
easily add extra sparkle to anyone's prom night. Wish there were
more to look at. I have to go shopping now! Thanks for the great
ideas.

The dresses are bout 50/50 half of them are realy nice and the
others are less to be dessired but not ugly. The thing that I was
disapointed about was how sexed up some of the poses are (black
dress girl laid out on pool table.). Its realy not needed and
something kiwibox shouldnt promote. Though the makeup on the girls
was absolutly beautiful, great job Lauralee Davis & Joanna H Clay.

I do wish u would reach out to the larger size of the average
girl as well. They have the hardest time finding where to get nice
dresses & an issue for them would be great and actually needed.

1) the dresses are OKAY..the light pink one was not flattering at
all, and the peach with the gold over it has unnecessary seams.

2) the photography SUCKED.

3) the models were too thin...it made it difficult for the dresses
to accentuate certain body features...because they had none. they
look unhealthy.

to the woman who got upset about people making assumptions about
the models having eating disorders - no one was assuming...what
WAS said was that they LOOK like they have eating disorders, and
very few people are actually that skinny. it is portraying that
there is an ideal body size, and that they only way to look decent
in dresses like the ones shown is to be that actual size. no one
was criticizing you. grow up.

so I know the whole world isnt this small and I am not saying that
they couldnt have used larger models....BUT, I really hate
everyone assuming these girls have eating disorders. I am 20 yrs
old and 100lbs, but I have NEVER had an eating disorder. Please
stop critisizing the girls for simply doing their job.

yeah, these dresses are nice. You know what's not nice: the
terribly inconsistant photography of them!
There is a director and there the the photographer, neither one of
them are doing their VERY simple jobs. which is to focus on the
asthetics of these garmets, meaning making them look to the best
of their potential.
The lighting is diffrent in every shot, unflattering direct
flash?! bounce it off of something PLEASE.
Anyways, i guess the underschooled can't know all the conventions.

omg, seriously CJs_thugmisses. you could've typed all of that in

pressing shift every other key to make those characters is a
shortcut or anything. so what's the point?
