We recently finished a really fun collaboration with Gilbea of etsy. Gilbea makes the most beautiful silk paintings on luxurious silk and transforms her handpainted pieces into pieces of wearable art! We were very excited recently to collaborate with Gilbea and gasped when her handpainted silk piece arrived through my letterbox. It was such a treat to work with the fabric, it had such a dramatic scheme on it we wanted to create a dress that would firstly allow the fluidity of the fabric to take centre stage because it drapes so beautifully, we also wanted to add a little of our signature embellishments the dress so we decided to create an asymmetrical bias draped dress with a black velvet neck adornment complete with tulle tattered edging and satin ruffled blooms.

Have a nice Thursday everyone.
