Gathering designs from the 16th to 19th century,

This piece paints a fantastical scene upon shantung.

The two unicorns by Maarten de Vos

harbor symbolism within their opposing composition,

while the flowers of Harmanus Uppink, together with the cornucopia,

resonate with the lingering echoes of festivity.

Golden frames and heavy draperies grant a timeless depth,

The hues of silence upon Beige and Black canvases alike,

make the wearer themselves a living part of a museum.

Around the waist, sheer chiffon drapery flows,

catching light and shadows in every movement.

The shimmering satin ribbons

are composed in deep complementary tones,

adding dimensional accents to the attire.

The subtle sheen and firmness of shantung

enhance the gravity of the print,

while the sculpted drape of the skirt shifts with every step,

weaving beauty that transforms like poetry in motion.

In the sanctuary where classics slumber, time matures in secrecy.

This dress draws the viewer’s consciousness deep into the canvas,

depicting the beauty of “noble rot,”

where echoes of festivity and traces of stillness intertwine.

With hues imbued with antique-like depth,

and a singular tale woven from architectural silhouettes,

it shall become the key that opens the door to dreams.
