CATTLEYA

THE STORY 

CATTLEYA is saturated fuchsia held to a strict line. The strapless column runs straight and disciplined from neckline to floor, interrupted only where hand-sculpted orchids bloom — at the bodice and again at the hip, their petals folded in the same fuchsia so they read as growth rather than decoration. A back slit closes the composition. Like the flower it is named for, CATTLEYA proves that intensity and elegance are not competitors.
