Our Sleeveless shift dress this season has a lengthened hem, as seen in our Hands On collection, with added deep split up on either side for more of a tunic feel. Still, with all of the elegance and ease of our cap sleeve dress, this sleeveless shift sits beautifully on those who want to elongate the figure, as the tunic is a straight up and down cut that lengthens and flows from its square shoulder cut, right down to the bottom hem. The sleeveless shift is also one of our fluid pieces in that it can be layered with our tailored or wide-leg pants on any gender and paired with a turtleneck and stockings in the cooler months, a belt, or cropped jacket for the effortlessly stylish look.

Sonia Beato is a local independent ceramic artist who has a strong interest in the beauty of rocks and the work of Gustav Klimt. The Ship design represents the diversity and vibrancy of migrant workers in Fremantle and tells the story of Sonia’s connection to the heritage of her home in North Fremantle. The Ship sketch was on the original plaster ceiling in her family’s living room, as the original owner was a sea captain married to an Anglo-Indian woman. The sketch was that of a Portuguese Caravel ship, which is where Sonia is originally from. The symbolism of the ship has such significance in Sonia’s life, that she has mosaiced a ship on the front step of her home. As always, our garments are designed in Fremantle, Western Australia.
