Duchess Silk Satin with Freshwater Pearl Beading and Faux Fur Bolero
Inspired by the opulence of 1930s Shanghai and Galliano’s legendary 1997 vision for Dior, this couture piece draws from Alvin’s own heritage through a language of glamour, theatre, and sensuality. Crafted in blush duchess silk satin, the gown features dramatic mesh cut-outs and bow detailing, with a sculptural three-dimensional seashell bustier emerging from the contoured torso.
The voluminous skirt opens to reveal a chandelier-like cascade of hand-beaded freshwater pearls, creating movement, light, and decadence with every step. Completing the look is a high-collar deadstock faux fur bolero, finished with deadstock tassels that frame the neck and shoulders with old-world drama. The result is a piece suspended between Shanghai nostalgia, couture fantasy, and House of Alvin’s signature romantic excess.
Each couture piece is made to order and available by private enquiry, with pricing determined by construction, materials, and fitting requirements.
Composition: 100% Duchess Silk with pearl & paillette beading. All beading is deadstock and changes in supply will be immediately notified.
Care : To protect your piece, we recommend that you look after them with care and have them dry cleaned.
