PANTHERA

THE STORY 

PANTHERA is discipline wearing its wildness on one hip. The column is cut in black velvet, one-shouldered and absolute, its pile drinking the light from bust to floor. Across the waist, the gown allows itself a single instinct: a drape of leopard-printed silk, knotted and falling along the high slit like something glimpsed moving through tall grass. The pairing is exact — velvet's control against print's appetite — and it resolves the way such tensions resolve in nature: elegantly, and in favour of the cat. 

FABRIC & COMPOSITION 

Couture velvet — 82% viscose, 18% silk; leopard-print drape in silk twill — 100% silk; body fully lined. 

STYLING NOTES 

Gold hoops and a black sandal; nothing printed anywhere else. For evening events with personality, suppers after ten, and hosts who understand jazz. 

CARE 

Professional dry clean only, velvet specialist. Hang padded; never fold the velvet. Steam pile and silk from a distance. 

MADE TO ORDER 

One piece available in standard S/M. Every further order is made to measure in the Gashani atelier, personalised to the client.
