Rose

First French Minister of Fashion, and the first recognised designer in the world, she served Marie Antoinette and her court to bring life to balls and court life.

This bright and versatile look is composed of a fringe-striped jacket with a bow closure, a fringe-striped overskirt and a silk peau de soie column gown with red contrast piping detail.

The jacket and skirt together mimic the outer layers of the 18th century robe de cour dress, while revealing a minimal yet striking mist blue and red evening gown with contrast buttons along the back.
