“Just as the optics of gemology reveal how a gem’s beauty is a reflection of its inner world, it is through the attention paid to a garment’s inner world that its outer radiance is revealed.”—Bahareh Ardakani, Artistic Director and founder

The theme of light is also interpreted through the use of the lightest of fabrics, often sheer, to reveal the meticulous attention to detail of their construction, and how their true beauty comes from within.

Geometry is a recurring theme, informing the plissé, appliqué and intricately embroidery beads, sequins, and silver threads, with the atomic structure of the mineral Beryl patterning custom-woven jacquard fabrics.

The collection’s asymmetric lines and geometric shapes are contrasted by soft, voluminous draping and featherlight layers of silk chiffon, organza, shimmering silver lurex, and vegetable-tanned Swedish reindeer leather, which swirl gracefully around the body.
