An evening gown that changes its mind.

$439 Complete set

A structured pleated bustier and a convertible skirt — lined in semi-crepe silk.

Vahini came from the Philippine art of draping, and from a beach. I couldn’t believe what fabric will do in the right hands — it kept reminding me of seashells, and how their grain and curve are really just nature showing off.— Juhi

Cut in a small run. A sold-out size returns only if enough of you ask.

Made to be tailored. Every piece carries about three inches of allowance in the side seams — room for a tailor to fit it precisely to you, now and years from now. The waist is cut true and stays that way, so choose your size by that measurement.

The storyWhy Vahini exists

Vahini reads as a gown. She is not one.

Vahini began with the Philippine art of draping, and with a trip to the beach.

The shapes come from seashells — the grains, the curves, the way nature builds volume out of very little. But without the palette usually attached to that idea. In denim chambray it reads fiercer than it has any right to.

I had to put that into something wearable. That was the moment fashion, art and memory stopped being separate things for me.— Juhi

The setWhat arrives

Two pieces. One look.

The pieces of Vahini, laid flat — Everything that arrives

Structured Pleated Bustier

Boned throughout, with an over-extended neckline reaching the collarbone and pleating that holds its volume.

Convertible Skirt

Floor length, with shell-like draping gathered at the hem. Detach the draping and a midi pencil skirt remains.

One setMany ways

How Vahini can be worn

TogetherThe full set

Worn whole, Vahini is drape as sculpture — pleated above, pouring below, every fold placed by hand.

ApartEach piece alone

The bustier pairs with white denim trousers. The skirt, worn short, sits under a ruched off-shoulder blouse or a structured silk one — or under black lace with peep-toe stilettos.

Finish itWhat we'd add

Single-strap silver stilettos or silver platforms. A silver envelope clutch with metal accents. Diamond studs or chunky silver earrings, stacked bracelets, one architectural ring shaped like a leaf or petal — no necklace.

The detailEverything else
