This made her realise how versatile and beautiful these silk accessories are. She wanted to create a dress that would go with these beautiful pieces of wearable art. With the use of design registered neckline loops, which discretely allow personalisation by picking through a complementary scarf, making styling options limitless. She wanted to create a dress that would be a staple in anyone's wardrobe and could be worn in multiple ways.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Ava tunic consists of Modal jersey which was chosen as the fabric is hard wearing, easy to care for, soft and holds the dye well in order to keep the dark black colour after washing. The yarn used is manufactured from Beech trees in Austria and then knitted and dyed in Leicestershire in Great Britain. Finally the dress is manufactured in London.

Made from Beech trees in Austria, knitted in Leicester; soft, crease resistant and keeps the dye really well, it’ll stay black without the colour washing out.
Easy to care for, cool wash, the fabric goes quite hard, but can then be put on a hanger and left to dry (it dries quickly) without it needing to be ironed.
