JASMINE

THE STORY 

JASMINE is lace treated as architecture. A high, collared neckline and long transparent sleeves are drawn entirely in black floral lace, its vines climbing the arms and closing at the wrists like a garden gating itself for the night. Beneath, the body of the dress is cut to a precise mini length, fitted and fully lined, so that the transparency above remains a suggestion rather than a statement. The contrast is the point: coverage and revelation in the same breath, modesty worn as provocation. It is the small black dress rewritten in the House's botanical hand. 

FABRIC & COMPOSITION 

Corded floral lace — 70% viscose, 30% polyamide; fitted body lining 96% viscose, 4% elastane. 

STYLING NOTES 

Sheer black hosiery and a patent pump take it to dinner; bare legs and a velvet sandal take it dancing. Jewellery stays small — the lace is the ornament. 

CARE 

Professional dry clean only. Store hanging; keep the lace clear of jewellery and rough surfaces that may catch the threadwork. Steam on the lowest setting, never iron directly.
