Portraits of Infantas (or Spanish princess) are often depicted with stiff farthingale structured gowns. Reimagined for the 21st century, this Infanta ballgown is rendered with lightweight tulle skirt. The lace bodice is backed with a nude tone, creating the illusion that the lace is molded directly on her skin, adding a subtle note of seduction. ‘My couture clients find lightweight gowns extremely liberating. I believe we should pay homage to the past but look at them in a modern and thoughtful way.’
