Dresses available: Nova Bagatelle, Tabitha, Mini Bagatelle, Nova Camille, Grand Camille, Nova Grace, Vaida, Nova Rhea, Galaxy, Nova Cora, Nova Cocotte
Galaxy Cape
The Galaxy Cape dress takes inspiration from the classic Ball Tie design, complete with an 18th-century Watteau style detachable cape, which echoes the bodice drape for added drama. The style is offered in a crepe satin fabric this year, available in pearl white and ultra black colourways.
Tabitha
As a reinterpretation of the iconic ‘Bird of Paradise’ dress, which originally appeared in the Spring-Summer 2005 Gold Label show – Ultra Femininity, the Tabitha encapsulates the grandeur of the Baroque age. The layering of drapes in the upper part of the gown flows into a delicately bias-cut circle skirt revealing a side slit, remaining faithful to Vivienne’s approach of celebrating femininity. The Tabitha is available in Faille, or Moire – offered in either ivory or black colourways.
Nova Bagatelle
Grand Camille
Nova Rhea
Nova Cora
The Nova Bagatelle is a gown inspired by the iconic blindfolded bride from the 1997 collection, ‘Vive La Bagatelle.’ This style, already part of the Classic Carryovers collection in recycled Double Duchesse, is now offered in both Faille and Moire - which lends the style a softer silhouette. The Nova Bagatelle offers a regal silhouette, complete with a cinched waist and romantic neckline – elevated with draped fabric sweeping across the shoulders.
The full skirt features deep pleats and hidden pockets, removable inner panniers on the hips and a long almond shaped train with a built-in bustling system. Style with the Joe Petticoat underneath for added volume. Style with sleeves, gloves, veils or Fichu blouse. Wear with matching Elizabeth Sleeves and Galatea train for a truly regal look.
Mini Bagatelle
The Mini Bagatelle is a new development of the popular Nova Bagatelle, inspired by the iconic blindfolded bride from the Spring-Summer 1997 collection, ‘Vive La Bagatelle.’ The gown creates a regal silhouette with a cinched waist and a romantic, off-the-shoulder draped neckline. This year, the style is offered as a mini skirt, featuring deep pleats. The Mini Bagatelle is offered in three fabrications this year, in double duchesse, faille and Moire fabrics.
The Grand Camille proposes a voluminous development of the Camille dress. The original Camille corset was first seen in the Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 1987/88 Harris Tweed collection and forms the upper of the Grand Camille dress – delivering refined structure and form to the gown, this interpretation is finished with a full skirt with overlapping front pleats that reveal a sultry side slit. The Grand Camille is available in a NAIA heavy stretch satin
Nova Grace
First designed for the red carpet, the Nova Grace gown in ivory soft stretch satin is timeless. The figure-hugging pencil skirt and overskirt, which adds extra volume give the gown dimension. With a removeable off the shoulder strap, the corset can be altered to create an asymmetric look.
Nova Camille
The original Camille corset was first seen in the Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 1987/88 Harris Tweed collection and forms the upper of the Nova Camille dress. This reinterpretation for 2024 is adapted with a structured slim A-line skirt, folding in at the centre back and flowing into a sweeping train. Available in a NAIA heavy stretch satin – styled here with classic satin opera gloves.
Nova Cocotte
The Nova Cocotte is a gown with great historical influence, first designed for the Autumn-Winter 2005/06 Vive La Cocotte collection. The corset and neckline are inspired by fashionable high society women of the 18th-century – which sweeps across the shoulders and cinches at the waist. The skirt falls from the hip in a soft slim A-line, folding and flowing delicately to create a drape reminiscent of ancient Greek statues.
For 2024, the Nova Cocotte is available in a pearl white heavy silk satin fabric, or in silk cady for brides who prefer a fabric with a more subtle shine.
Vaida
The corseted Vaida dress is refined in its shape and construction to achieve an elevated look, wrapping fabric across the bodice and hips. The masterful drapes are achieved through an experimental pattern cutting technique, which plays with juxtaposing round and straight cut pattern pieces, creating unexpected folds and asymmetry.
Featuring transformative elements, the customisable Nova Rhea has a removeable train. With expertly corseted, minimal drapery, the Rhea nips in at the hips and is finished with a subtle mermaid train. Optional sleeves in matching fabric complete the look.
Galaxy
The Galaxy, originally created for the red carpet, features a cinched waist and draped neckline inspired by the classic Vivienne Westwood Ball Tie gown - finished with a skirt reminiscent of ancient Greek statues. The corset features a sparkling draped panel, embellished with astral silver Swarovski crystals.
The Nova Cora takes inspiration from the seminal Vivienne Westwood archive Cocotte silhouette. It features a sculpting corset, with reduced drapery around the neckline and across the hips to create a cascading asymmetrical train at the back.
