Bridal
Tidal Cheongsam
Moonlight captured in thread and fabric.
The Vision
This design emerged from a study of East Asian temple architecture, translating geometric elegance into fabric. The construction required three separate fittings to achieve perfection.
The Full Story
Every great dress tells a story, and this one speaks of the Pacific coast at twilight. Our designer spent a month along the shoreline, observing how light plays across the water at different hours. The color palette emerged from those observations — deep golds that shift to amber, warm undertones that recall the last rays of sun on ancient stone. The bodice features hand-applied beading that took our embroidery team 150 hours to complete, each bead placed with precision to catch and reflect light in a way that mimics the shimmer of raw silk. The skirt flows with a weight and movement that required six prototype iterations to perfect.
