The picture
A chrome hotel elevator, mirrored on three sides, so the purple multiplies before the doors even open. Cat-eye sunglasses, pearl drops, a black minaudière and the gele tied high — the house colour of OLORI needed a frame that was all metal and no apology. The cape sleeve is the scalloped border of the lace itself, cut straight from the selvedge: one seam, and the hem becomes the shoulder.
Every image on OLORI is a campaign image, made to show the cloth the way it is meant to be worn: hard light, a white room, one object. The lace in them is the real dessin, reproduced thread for thread.
