The Selene Dress draws its name from Cleopatra Selene, the daughter of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony, conversing about a lineage of women whose stories demand to be carried forward. The Selene dress envisions a reimagining of Cleopatra's attire from a Statue of Cleopatra, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Selene features a dramatically billowing gown, with batwing sleeves seamlessly cut as one with the body, rendering a dreamy draping of fabric. The sleeves culminate in pleated cuffs that echo the rolled neckline, enhancing the sense of continuity within the design.
Entirely cut on the bias, Selene punctuates its voluminous flare with its translucent checkered fabric, symbolic of a cage-motif. Selene exists as a testament to the enduring interplay between freedom, birth and confinement.
