Sorellina

Aisling Camps
Opal Dress
A sheer crinkle chiffon dress edged in charmeuse silk, cut so its shoulder ties convert a floor-length layering piece into a cropped tank — precision construction from a designer trained first in mechanical engineering, then in knitwear.

Amir Taghi
Ready-to-Wear

Élucidé
Moonlight Balm

Fara Homidi
The Essential Lip Compact
Fifteen years of backstage instinct distilled into a refillable object: one primer, one whipped color, a system meant to be topped up rather than replaced. For a debut line, it arrives with unusual discipline.

LBTY.
Zephirine Eau de Parfum
