Inspired by the Baroque painting "The Fall of the Damned" by Sir Peter Paul Ruben and focusing on excessiveness - dramatic drapes and asymmetrical shapes, gold chains This collection features hand embroidered Swarovski Crystal elements that recreate the Baroque painting garnished on duchess satin, lace, wool crepe and tweed.

"Paint the Lily" is deprived from Lord Salisbury's speech in Shakespeare's King John:

"Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,

To Guard a title that was rich before,

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,

To throw a perfume on the violet,

To smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,

Is wasteful, and ridiculous excess"
