The “Baby doll” Haute Couture dress

Angeliki Tsionou is “the” girl in the First Shield Haute Couture collection, combining the fragility of a wax doll, the strength of a dragon and Parisian elegance. 

With her very ’50s styled doe eye, designed for her by Nicolas Degennes, the “little dress” Angeliki wears is lightness combined with strength: suspended décolleté in illusion tulle, biker sleeves, suspended window back. 

The plum leather belt echoes the shimmering boreal fabric from Sfat et Combier: a jacquard of Lurex on silk, lighter than a feather, with sublime luminous ripples of purple on khaki. 

It’s the perfect setting to highlight the exceptional work of art passementerie created by Effet passementeries. With more than 160 years of history, this company has been able to reissue the foragers made during the reign of Napoleon III!

It’s the accessories that give this Haute Couture dress its warrior feel. The leather belt, with its two grenade pockets, marks the waist, while letting the parachute back fly. 

A perfect “Baby Doll” Haute Couture dress: curved bust, emphasized the waist and tasseled stockings. 

The finishing touch: the Deep Purple Saturne tote bag, with its gradations of lilac on a monogrammed mirrored canvas, recalls the colors of the dress and exposes the codes of the tote, the light bursting from the print. 

Angeliki, after its passage, will leave a flash in the night. Adorned with flowers in her tote bag, she’s ready to face an explosive cocktail.
