The printed jersey was printed using the eco-friendly technique of sublimation printing, using sustainably sourced materials. The dress draws inspiration from the missing Libyan gazelle statue, a manipulated collage of the sculpture was created as a print, and in a way, capturing the fluid movement of gazelles in its abstract print, while the feminine silhouette accentuates the wearer’s beauty and strength.
Made from high-quality stretch jersey fabric, the dress is both luxurious and comfortable, offering a sleek, body-hugging, draping fit that flatters every figure. Its versatility allows it to transition from runway to street style effortlessly, making it a must-have piece for any wardrobe.
