It is not the garment that defines the body, but the body that defines the garment. The starting point for the collection was a study of the dress codes of La Bourgeoisie. Severe and monumental tailoring for women with tulip lapels that frame the face, alongside high-collared, constructed Medici and Nosferatu-esque necklines. Inspired by Elizabeth Taylors love of jewelry, Lorraine Schwartz created over 1,000 carats of custom-made high jewelry with white diamonds, natural emeralds, Padparadsha sapphires, pink diamonds, and canary yellow diamonds to accessorize the collection. The finale look worn by Eliza is a seamless Guipure lace gown shaped with millinery techniquesthe ultimate minimal sculptural gown that represents everything this house stands for.
