Evening
Lumière Dress
Silk that flows like water under starlight.
The Vision
Drawing from the Asian concept of grace and poise, this piece finds beauty in subtle asymmetry. The silk charmeuse drapes with intentional artistry.
The Full Story
In the world of haute couture, there are garments and there are experiences. This piece belongs firmly in the latter category. Designed to transform the wearer, it draws on the rich tradition of Asian ceremonial dress. The silhouette references classical elegance while the details — hand-rolled hems, invisible closures, and a custom-dyed lining — speak to a thoroughly modern sensibility. Our client who first wore this piece described the experience as feeling like stepping into a painting.
