Style Guide: The Alaya Dress
Three ways to wear our signature silhouette
The Alaya Dress is a statement in elegance. Fluid, dramatic, and intentionally sculptural, it can transform based on styling. Here are three distinct ways to wear it, each with a unique mood and point of view.
1. Shadow Play: Artful Nomad
A softly veiled palette of neutrals and bronze grounds this look in earthy luxury. The Alaya Dress is paired with a beige mesh turban and bold, sculptural earrings, creating a profile that feels both vintage and avant-garde. Snakeskin slingback heels and a shell-shaped clutch add refined texture, while the gold fish-shaped brooch introduces a playful, surrealist twist. This styling feels at home in an art opening abroad or on a waterfront terrace at sunset.
Mood: Dreamy, artistic, worldly
Accessories: Turban, shell clutch, fish brooch, snakeskin heels
Occasion: Seaside dinners, gallery events, destination travel
2. Shadow Play: Noir Elegance
This look leans into cinematic glamour with long black opera gloves and a structured black handbag trimmed with fur. A vintage-inspired watch, diamond statement jewelry, and sleek stiletto sandals elevate the dress into a timeless evening silhouette. The image of a quiet, moody interior with a chessboard sets the tone for this styling — one that commands attention with subtlety and sophistication.
Mood: Mysterious, luxurious, old-world glamour
Accessories: Leather gloves, stiletto heels, diamond jewelry, vintage watch, fur-trimmed handbag
Occasion: Formal or cocktail attire events, wedding guest, gala
3. Shadow Play: Sculptural Escape
This look reinterprets the Alaya Dress with softness and light. Styled with sculptural gold earrings, delicate black lace-up sandals, and a textured cream handbag with circular wooden handles, the result is warm and modern. A sheer-curtained view of tropical palms sets the backdrop, while a low, open-back pose captures the breathability and ease of the look. This version of the dress feels effortless, yet artful.
Mood: Warm, airy, architectural
Accessories: Woven handbag, sculptural gold earrings, strappy sandals
Occasion: Summer weddings, resort dinners, golden hour rooftops
