Fatale
2025 Capstone Collection
Fatale is a four-look fashion collection inspired by the concept of the femme fatale, exploring the duality of feminine strength and beauty. Through a blend of hard and soft textures and a reimagining of classic feminine silhouettes, the collection challenges traditional notions of femininity and power. The collection tells the story of the femme fatale from temptation, seduction, deception, and fatale (death).
Temptation
look #1: The Temptation Dress
The temptation dress features a bustier made of lined patent lamb leather with a leather cord whipstitched eyelet trim. The skirt of the dress features a luxury ombre brocade with a tulle underskirt for volume. A back exposed zipper allows for ease of use.
Seduction
look #2: The Seduction Dress
The Seduction Dress features a lined red patent lamb leather mandarin collar with a leather cord eyelet whip stitched trim and lace up collar. The dress has a satin corset understructure with a nude draped mikado on top. The top and bottom edges are finished with a lace trim.
Deception
look #3: The Deception Coat & Mini Skirt
The Deception coat features double padded shoulders and double welt pockets. It is made of a wool and lurex blend tweed for a subtle sparkle and has a red silk lining. The coat is closed with a wrapped leather cord belt. The Deception mini skirt is made of a lined ombre luxury brocade with a side invisible zipper.
Fatale
look #4: The Fatale Dress
