The philosophy of weightlessness: why volume?
Volume in the evening fashion of the warm season is not an attempt to hide a figure or create a theatrical image. This is the creation of an aura. Airy silhouettes work as an extension of movement: when you take a step, the fabric picks up the airflow, creating the illusion that you are floating. The lightness of the materials allows the skin to breathe on July nights, and the visual splendor of the skirts contrasts with the fragility of the open back. Psychologically, volume gives you a sense of security and greatness at the same time, turning an ordinary walk into a movie where you are the main character. Hubert de Givenchy said:"A dress should follow the curves of a woman's body, not adjust it to fit herself."
Summer volume follows the body, giving it space to live and dance until dawn.

- Tulle haze. Multi-layered skirts made of the softest tulle, resembling a cloud. Such dresses do not have a rigid frame, so when you turn the skirt soars up and gently falls off.
- Silk cascade and voluminous sleeves. The base can be laconic, made of heavy flowing silk, but the emphasis is on exaggerated buff sleeves or drapery on the back, creating the effect of wings.
- Modern crinoline cage. Thin, almost imperceptible hoops support the fabric, creating an ideal geometric shape that remains mobile at the same time.
- Wind asymmetry. Dresses with one shoulder and a long train or an asymmetrical hem. They are designed to flutter beautifully in the sea breeze.
- A corselet waist and a weightless train. A rigid, supportive corset at the top and a completely weightless, flying skirt at the bottom. The contrast of textures and meanings creates an incredibly attractive silhouette.
