After a season of crystals, the studio went outside. Collection 04 — the Garden Edit — is our colour season: powder blue, lilac, blush and periwinkle, embroidered with whole gardens. Four dresses that treat colour the way Collection 03 treated sparkle: as the entire point. Meet them in order — then tell us your number.
No. 1 — Fleur, the love letter
Fleur’s ground is the blue of a sky just after rain, worked over with ivory and blush embroidery — roses, blossom, trailing stems, thinning down the skirt like flowers at a path’s edge. Her full five angles live on Fleur’s dress page.
No. 2 — Liliane, the quiet one
A sheath of pale lilac crepe under a bodice of lilac-thread lace, three-quarter sleeves, a sweep train edged in the same lace. Not every statement is loud; Liliane’s page makes the quiet case beautifully.
No. 3 — Camille, the storybook
Blush tulle embroidered with ivory roses and green stems, gathered into a ball gown, tulle draped off the shoulders like a held breath. Camille’s dress page shows her mid-turn, petals everywhere.
No. 4 — Anaïs, the garden mermaid
Periwinkle blue-violet, floral lace climbing the fitted body, tiers of plain tulle below the knee so the flowers give way to pure colour in motion. See the flare kick on Anaïs’s page.
Colour, up close
Colour in bridal only works if the craft holds at touching distance, so the Garden Edit’s embroidery is thread, not print: Fleur’s blossoms are stitched in three weights of floss, Camille’s roses carry green-thread stems with actual direction, and Liliane’s lace is worked in lilac thread on lilac tulle — colour on colour, the hardest trick in the collection and the quietest.
Four dresses. One question.
A word on wearing colour this committed: it photographs best against the day’s quieter registers — ivory flowers, green gardens, pale stone — and it asks the bridal party to dress around it, usually in neutrals or in one borrowed tone from the embroidery. Bridesmaids in blush beside Fleur, in sage beside Anaïs: the garden coordinates itself if you let it.
Sky blue, lilac, rose blush or periwinkle — the Garden Edit argues that “something blue” can be the whole dress. All twenty dresses are in the Lookbook now. Which colour is yours — 1, 2, 3 or 4?
