This pairing of garments is inspired by the Rococo movement of eighteenth century France, full scale prints cover silhouettes, evoking a sense of lavishness. The gown features a contemporary take on hand-sewn cartridge pleats and the Watteau sacque back gown. The jacket emphasizes the ideals of this time period with the strategic use of print to create a beautiful silhouette inspired by the riding jacket.
