Velum Antiquum

Dress with sculpted silhouette and ornamental thread detailing

495 

Description

Velum Antiquum — Latin for “ancient veil” — blends modern simplicity with the timeless charm of historic textiles. This ecru dress is cut from softly elastic cotton, offering both comfort and ease. Meanwhile, darts at the front and back gently sculpt the silhouette. Decorative threadwork creates circular motifs across the body. At the shoulders and hem, the same technique appears in a different pattern. This contrast adds subtle texture and a quiet sense of drama. Natural fibres line the entire dress, offering both structure and ease. As a result, the piece feels refined yet understated – graceful in its quiet detail.

Material: 97% cotton, 3% elastane; Lining: 100% natural fibre (acetate)

Porcelain Doll Collection
A delicate fusion of historical elegance and contemporary design, the Porcelain Doll Collection draws inspiration from the poise and beauty of porcelain dolls. Each piece reflects the essence of artistic minimalism, reinterpreting timeless silhouettes—such as the bustle and Empire waist—through modern tailoring. Select garments feature artisanal details, including sgraffito-enamel buttons and Yin-Yang accents in silver and gold, underscoring the collection’s dedication to craftsmanship and elevating it into the realm of wearable art.
