Inspired by the iconic black-and-white wave promenade of Copacabana, designed by Roberto Burle Marx, "the Sea Princess" as it is known (Princesinha do Mar) transforms one of Rio de Janeiro's most recognizable landscapes into couture.
Sculpted with the unmistakable hourglass sensuality and bow of Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, this cocktail dress is conceived as the ultimate reception, bachelorette, or after-party statement—playful, glamorous, and unapologetically feminine.
Its clean, uninterrupted silhouette conceals a fully structured internal corset, creating a sculpted fit without a single front dart. The result is an extraordinary demonstration of textile manipulation, where the fabric itself provides all shaping through couture construction rather than conventional tailoring.
Contrasting black hand beaded appliqué traces the neckline like the sweeping curves of the Copacabana promenade, while the monochromatic palette celebrates the timeless elegance of Rio's graphic mosaic.
Though presented in black and white, the design can be commissioned in a bespoke colorway, short or long.
