KORI Dress

Inspired by the timeless beauty of Cycladic and Minoan sculpture, the KORI Dress is an homage to the sacred feminine — serene, powerful, and enduring. Named after the ancient Greek figure symbolizing youth and grace, this gown translates classical form into contemporary couture through extraordinary craftsmanship.

Hand-crocheted over the course of two months, every inch of the KORI Dress reflects devotion to artistry and detail. The sculpted bra is inspired by the Spira of ancient Greece, echoing the wrapped, architectural forms once used to shape and support the body, reimagined here with refined sensuality. From the bodice, the fluid, open-worked texture follows the natural lines of the silhouette, creating a living dialogue between structure and movement. A deep neckline and elongated slit introduce modern allure, balanced by the quiet strength of its artisanal construction.

No two KORI dresses are ever identical. Each piece is one of a kind, shaped by the hands that created it and the woman who wears it. Designed to catch light, reveal form, and honor tradition, this gown is made for moments of meaning — ceremonial, intimate, and unforgettable.
