The Backless Look, Evening Version
From the front, it is a sober black jumpsuit: a stand collar of black pearls, a narrow slit at the center of the bodice, a flat belt and very wide trousers. Everything happens when you turn around: the back is entirely open down to the waist, framed by two panels decorated with black guipure lace. The slit panels of the trousers take over as you walk. An evening or New Year's Eve outfit that stays restrained at the front and makes its statement at the back.
The Wearing Experience
- A black that catches the light only at the neck: the black pearls catch the light without ever looking like costume jewelry
- A back effect: the outfit reveals itself when you turn around, as you leave a table or climb a staircase
- Legs in motion: two slits per leg, which open with each step on the inner leg
- An elongated silhouette: stand collar, defined waist and floor-length trousers stretch the line from head to toe
Craftsmanship & Material
The label indicates 95% polyester and 5% elastane: a fluid crêpe jersey with a heavy drape, which follows the body without molding it. The elastane plays a specific role here: the top has no straps and no back, it is held only by the collar and the waist, and the slight stretch of the fabric keeps it pressed against the bodice when you move.
In black, the guipure lace appliqués are read not through color contrast but through relief: their thick flowers catch the light where the crêpe jersey absorbs it, which makes them visible without making them loud. The trousers are built in two layers: a wide inner leg and, over it, panels of the same fabric slit from the thigh to the hem.

Styling Tips
- Black ankle-strap sandals and gold hoop earrings: the gala version, hair up to show off the back.
- Bold lipstick and a gold clutch: for New Year's Eve, nothing else.
- A long black coat worn over the shoulders on arrival, removed for dinner.
The same jumpsuit is available in white, and all our evening pieces are in the jumpsuits collection.
Caring for Your Piece
Gentle wash at 30 °C by hand or in the machine, inside out and in a laundry bag: the pearl collar and the guipure appliqués must not rub against the drum. No bleach, no tumble drying. Dry flat. Iron on low heat on the reverse side, never on the pearls or the guipure lace.
