The Medici Cheetah Silk V-Neck Dress - Musk/Maraschino

This Silk V-Neck Dress is constructed in London from our dusky Crepe-de-Chine. It features an elegant and simple straight-cut shape which lightly skims the figure. It has delicate, adjustable straps, an internal double-facing around the bust, French seams throughout and a precise pin hem. The side seams are open to the knee to allow for ease of movement, and the dress fastens with a concealed side zip.

The Medici Cheetah design was inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings and cultural events alongside beliefs and attitudes of the era; the dichotomy of idealism versus naturalism opening a portal to landscapes of fantasy, a ‘New World’. Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights contained anachronous plants, red fruits, and flowers, here shown in the form of daisies, cherries and pomegranates; the red and white elements symbolising the blood and flesh of Christ and illustrated in the fashion of Schreiber’s illuminated manuscripts. Tiny insects symbolise nature’s transience.
