Back view of the Paola Ermini dress on a mannequin, showing the boat neckline and full batwing sleeves. A dress that keeps most of its opinions to itself from the front.

The dress worn candidly, sleeve in shot, with a black and white cat perched on a pink patchwork quilt behind. Even the cat approves.

Grey sleeveless top on the mannequin, seven fine pin-tucks running from a round neckline down to the waist seam. Structured and quiet, like a shirt that decided to become something else.
