An essential aspect of this season's collection is the play on volumes with astonishing silk skirts other cloak-inspired skirts with a great sweep and fall. The most flowing and lightest versions of these are loose-fitting gowns with extremely low waists and Empire-line chiffon gowns with feather trims. All of these are Hellenic-inspired and only fit for the most stylish. There are also the more traditional bridal gowns with trains, made from fine fabrics such as Mikado silk and designed to be worn with the traditional mantilla and an imposing veil.
