“I wanted to capture the feeling of stepping into a moonlit garden—soft, mysterious, and undeniably feminine.”
The result is a silk‑velvet slip dress in a deep, midnight‑blue shade that shifts ever so slightly under different lighting. What makes it truly exclusive? Each dress is hand‑embroidered with tiny, iridescent mother‑of‑pearl beads tracing a delicate, swirling constellation across the bodice and hem. Only 75 pieces will ever be made, each numbered and signed by Martina herself.
