The choice of fabric decides the character of a gown long before the first seam is set. We work only with materials that grow more beautiful with time.

Silk

Silk satin falls heavy and catches the light like liquid mother-of-pearl. It is the choice for architectural, sculptural silhouettes.

Tulle & Chantilly lace

Tulle gives a gown its float — layer upon layer creates that lightness that drifts like mist over a lake.

Chantilly lace, by contrast, is poetry in thread: its floral motifs are laid by hand, until skin and lace seem to become one.
