“Our Lady of Sorrows” explores grief, devotion and beauty through dramatic special-occasion wear rendered in flowing chiffon, structured crepe, soft cotton and luminous satin. Anchored in a stark black-and-white palette, the collection blends romantic draping, lace detailing and elongated silhouettes to create garments that feel both ethereal and emotionally charged.

Designed for both womenswear and menswear presentation, the collection reinterprets attire through a contemporary lens, balancing softness, spirituality and quiet theatricality in pieces that evoke reverence, vulnerability and strength.
