BLACK SILK COCTAIL DRESS

£650

A mid-length cocktail dress constructed from delicate black silk tissue. The architecture is defined by its translucent volume and is secured by signature resin and gold-tone CC buttons. Labelled as a size 38 and originating from the house’s 1997 collection.

This dress is an exercise in the physics of transparency. The silk tissue is engineered to capture and diffuse light, providing a “visual silence” that frames the more visceral emotional anchors of the collection. To travel with this piece is to share a part of a road with an object that possesses a beautiful, ephemeral provenance—its fibers recording a shared history of nocturnal elegance. It serves as a sophisticated companion that bridges the gap between historical house codes and modern, ethereal permanence.
