THE. DRESS.

for my travel to india,

i wanted a dress that covered most of my skin, using light fabrics for the hot temperatures and in a style for the whole time i was there, therefore versatile. and since I wanted to feel like a gooddamn princess, it had to be very flowy in the air.

i ended up with a three-piece dress :

• a top that you can tie in the front or the back.

• a scarf with different hidden buttons to connect the ends and wear it in different shapes. it can be worn long over the shoulder, as a hood, or as a simple scarf.
  
  

• a skirt that, since I put a corset-style closure, i could wear as well low-waisted as high-waisted depending on the occasion.

the dress has lived with me through motor bike rides in the munnar mountains, has seen the gateway of india, was a beautiful company at some quite fancy venues in mumbai,

visited the palace of mysore walked through corridors of temples, and spent time in the shade on hot, sun-drenched streets in hampi.

on a lovely day

sina took our her camera and i took my dress and we shot this beauty in the streets of paris.

i wanted to have a parted dress (or set of separates) to also be able to wear the top with pants when going to work, or the scarf with another outfit. now the dress itself is very versatile, and the parts can be worn in my everyday life, bringing the warmth and memories of india with me.
