Blouses

Balmain drapes this long-sleeved jersey blouse from a shawl collar that falls open into a plunging V. The fluid viscose wraps across the body and ties at the side with a wide sash, marking the waist the house always defines, while gathered cuffs finish the soft shoulders. In black the drape reads as pure line.

Cool in summer and insulating in the winter, a sumptuous silk shirt will readily take on the lion's share of the work in your wardrobe. Ours is cut on the bias so it drapes like a dream.

Cut from airy georgette, the Tairis is the quintessential boho blouse. Designed with a high neckline and floaty bell sleeves, it’s defined by custom Southwestern-inspired embroidery and beading throughout. Lined for ease, it’s finished with a keyhole closure at the back. Romantic and effortless, this black top is an elegant choice day or night.

Olimpia is cut from light jersey with a high neck and batwing sleeves. The fit is relaxed and the silhouette draped, so the cloth falls from the shoulder in soft folds rather than holding a shape. All the interest of this plain black blouse is in the sleeve.

Expertly crafted from Italian stretch-silk with an intricate floral motif, the Pascaline is a romantic top with a fitted, subtly bustier-inspired silhouette. It's defined by a dramatic contrast lace trim along its cap sleeves and V-neckline, and finished with a partial button-front placket.

Retrofête's Peregrine blouse is cut from semi-sheer silk, printed with full-blown roses and leaves on a black ground. The sleeves balloon from the shoulder and gather at the cuff, and long ties at the collar fall to a bow at the front.
