Spotlight Gown Short Dress the reflection of a NewA floor length silk patchwork gown in bamboo taffeta, cut from black, gold, and warm orange panels joined by hand at the Hanoi atelier. Across the front, black silk tags cascade on fine white strings, drawn like clapperboards falling from above, and at the base a silhouette of a woman stands in profile against the warm light. Cap sleeves, high neckline, side slit at the calf, hand embroidered outlines. Part of the Cinema Collection, designed by Laura
