The showpiece of the collection, the Ostuni gown embodies the opulence of Renaissance Florence and Elizabethan England, particularly portraiture: a bodice framed by rows of draping pearls, interlaced with filigree motifs and floral vines. The hand-finished bead and sequinwork grounding the trompe l’oeil stitch on soft Italian tulle. Fusing decadent detailing with influence from Italian painter Botticelli’s controversial masterpiece Primavera, reimagined with Tudor, rose garden-inspired apothecary motifs and bright fresco-style florals.
All of the embroidery is originally hand-painted by artists in-house, engineered meticulously to fit the panelling, then imagined by artisans into this exquisite finished creation.
