VANESSA

THE STORY 

VANESSA is champagne poured over lace. The mermaid line is worked in nude-gold beaded lace from bust to hem, its pattern glinting in constellations as the body turns. But the dress's signature arrives at the bodice: an oversized satin bow, sculpted rather than tied, its wings spreading across the neckline with the poise of a moth at rest. The gesture could overwhelm a lesser silhouette; here the beaded column beneath holds it in perfect tension. It is celebration engineered — ornament with structure, sweetness with spine. 

FABRIC & COMPOSITION 

Beaded lace — 65% viscose, 25% polyamide, 10% metallised fibre, hand- finished glass beadwork; sculpted satin bow — 72% polyester, 28% silk; lining 96% viscose, 4% elastane.  

STYLING NOTES 

Hair fully up; the bow frames the collarbones and asks for a bare neck. Champagne-toned sandals and a single ring. For engagements, galas, and the guest of honour. 

CARE 

Professional dry clean only, beaded-couture specialist. Store with the bow lightly padded with tissue to keep its wings. Never iron; steam at a distance.
