Love Language
Dress + Robe

A poem you wear on your sleeve.

Join the list

The piece

Written in thread,
meant to be read.

Deep black silk opens into sheer mesh sleeves, each one embroidered with flowing Arabic calligraphy of a love poem by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish.

The letters drift across the back of the hand and fall past the wrist, so the poem moves when you do. Worn as a robe over the slip dress, or on its own, it speaks a love language of its own: words you keep close.

The details

Two pieces, one language.

The robe
Black silk body, wide bell sleeves finished in sheer embroidered mesh.
The dress
A black silk slip dress cut to sit underneath, with a sheer embroidered panel at the slit.
The verse
A love poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, in Arabic calligraphy stitched in black thread. Asked if he loves her to death, the poet answers that her name, spoken over his grave, would bring him back to life.

At golden hour

Made for wind and light.

Silk that catches the last sun, sleeves that throw the poem into shadow.
