CARDINALIS

THE STORY 

CARDINALIS is crimson given a metallic pulse. The one-shoulder mermaid is cut in satin whose surface carries a foil-like sheen, deepening and flaring as the light strikes — red with a current running through it. At the shoulder, the gown ties its single flourish: a sculpted bow, poised like wings folded at rest. The line runs fitted from bust to knee before releasing at the hem. One shoulder, one bow, one colour at full intensity: arithmetic that has never once failed an evening. 

FABRIC & COMPOSITION 

Metallic-stretch lycra — 88% polyester, 12% metallised fibre; internal bodice structure; fully lined 96% viscose, 4% elastane. 

STYLING NOTES 

Ears bare, lips matched to the dress, sandals in dark gold. For premieres, festive galas, and December evenings that intend to glitter. 

CARE 

Professional dry clean only. Hang with the bow padded in tissue to hold its wings. Cool steam only — heat dulls the metallic face. 

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.
