CAPE DRESS

Cape Dress in Light Wool (Balmain Deadstock)

Fabric: 100% Virgin Wool
Overlay: 100% Virgin Wool
Color: Black

Sculpted in motion.
This asymmetric dress is tailored from light suiting wool — soft, precise, and designed to move. The silhouette opens with a wide round neckline and closes with an open back: asymmetrical and unexpected.

The waist is double-layered for structure. A generous semicircular skirt adds volume and drape, while maintaining lightness. Two Japanese-style pockets (closed by default, easily opened) are integrated into the side seams.

The defining element: a sculptural cape panel that emerges cleanly from the shoulders. It drapes diagonally across the back, stitched along one side of the neckline, and falls like a fluid, one-sided sleeve. Crafted in a single layer of wool gabardine, and finished with a hand-rolled hem.

Light, but grounded.
Minimal, but dimensional.
For presence in motion.
