Ornamental creatures decorated the collection
Amid the intricate floral and botanical embroideries crafted from delicate fabrics such as duchess satin, crepe chiffon, and organza, one could find the whimsical presence of dragonflies. These delightful creatures were artfully stitched onto coats and skirts, adorned as pins and on shoes, and even worn as crystal earrings. The collection also boasted tulip bud belts, cascades of crystal flowers, feathers, and pearls, harmoniously blending nature’s allure with couture craftsmanship.
