What is the concept of your label? |
|
| |
High style womenswear. The silhouette is predominantly asymmetrical and very fitted with sharp and signature tailored pieces. Louis De Gama designs exude energetic use of colour & fabric textures. Jersey tops are draped, gathered and held by leather stitched straps. The collection evolves to reveal intricate and beautifully cut silk satin and chiffon dresses in layers. Skirts are loose and panelled with flaps and gathers to balance the feature in the same combination of colours. |
