Evening
Silhouette Ballgown
Timeless grace woven into every seam.
The Vision
Born from the desire to create something both powerful and delicate, this design speaks to the duality of strength and grace in Asian design tradition.
The Full Story
This creation represents the pinnacle of our studio's technical capability. The pattern was drafted using a combination of traditional draping on a dress form and modern precision cutting. The fabric — a custom-woven silk blend exclusive to our house — was developed over eight months in collaboration with a fourth-generation weaver in East Asia. The construction employs a hidden internal structure that provides support without sacrificing the fluid exterior line. From first sketch to final fitting, this piece required four months of dedicated work by a team of twelve artisans.
