This line caters to the brand’s VIP clients. A dozen looks from the collection will be revealed in the coming days on the famous steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.

The sensual and hyper-feminine collection consists of mini dresses, draped ensembles, maxi dresses featuring high slits, plunging V-necklines as well as pajama suits, emphasizing sumptuous embellishments such as embroidery, rhinestones, sparkling sequins and last but not least extravagant feathers.
