Very inspired by all the floral themes .gala.2024 following “The Garden of Time” dress code. The theme referenced a J.G. Ballard story about a count who, threatened by an angry mob approaching his castle, cut a rose from his garden to slow down time until there were no flowers left. Dystopian but beautiful . This design however won’t destroy anything. The flowers are going to be made from fabric off cuts from the studio

If you choose a dress from the Couture Collection there are all sorts of ways we can customise the design to make it unique to you.
