The collar makes it
That soft stand collar is what sold me. It frames the neck without choking, and against the ivory it reads quietly expensive. The crepe has a lovely matte calm to it.
A column in motion
Hugo Caesar Tassi cut Fulvia for the Livia collection — a high-collared crepe dress with the quiet drama of a single ruffle.
The neckline rises to a soft stand collar, the shoulders left bare, the bodice gathered to fall into a two-tiered ruffle that breaks just at the waist. Below it the crepe releases into a long, weightless skirt that drifts with every step.
We kept it in a warm ivory-cream, a single solid tone that lets the crinkled texture and the ruffle do the talking. A small button and a soft keyhole finish the back; nothing more is needed.
The cloth and the cut
A lightly crinkled crepe chosen for air and movement, matte and luminous in late-afternoon light.
The crepe carries a fine wrinkled surface that catches the light softly and keeps the silhouette weightless. The ruffle is doubled and gathered so it holds its shape without stiffness, a sculpted detail against the fluid skirt.
It is made to be worn from a long lunch into the gold of the evening — an occasion dress that asks only for fine gold jewellery and an unhurried afternoon.
