My fascination with the opulence of Gothic style led to the creation of this enchanting dress, drawing on the mysterious charm of Grimms’ fairytales, especially Little Red Riding Hood. This piece embodies the spirit of a dark fairytale, capturing the essence of a shadowed forest dotted with berries—a world painted in shades of black and crimson.
The voluminous black skirt, with its deep ruffled folds, contrasts strikingly with a rich red capelet. Beneath its delicate tulle overlay lies the suggestion of a hidden story, a tale of forest trails, eerie whispers, and unknown dangers. Inspired by the darker side of childhood curiosity, this piece touches on that aspect of innocence drawn to the mystical and the forbidden.
This design invites us to listen to the voices of our childhood: “Let’s all be witches and go on an adventure in the woods!” Cats, after all, have long been symbols of mystery and wisdom—like little prophets wandering in our midst. The combination of this attire with a cat’s own enigmatic presence makes for an irresistibly charming encounter, one that beckons us into a fairytale world filled with wonder and whispers of ancient magic.
