Wear a Work of Art: Sonia Rose Print

Premium fashion designer, Jen Lipan, delves into the creation of our Sonia Rose Print — a delicate yet striking homage to romance, refinement, and the art of couture.

January 29, 2025

The Cordially Invited collection is all about blending timeless elegance with a modern sensibility, celebrating femininity in both traditional and contemporary forms. The decision to incorporate a rose print into the collection feels like a natural extension of this philosophy.

Roses, as one of the most iconic floral motifs, have long been associated with romance, refinement, and beauty — qualities that resonate deeply with the spirit of the Debutante season and the overall theme of high society and distinction. The rose print adds an extra layer of elegance, echoing the delicate femininity and grace that define the collection's aesthetic.

To complement this motif, we turned to a seasoned couture print designer, Giorgino Taroni, whose work beautifully captures the timeless appeal of botanical design while maintaining a fresh, modern sensibility. His focus on floral prints allows us to pay homage to the 1950s-1960s vintage style that is also reflected in the collection. The intricate details and delicate brushwork of their floral designs bring a sense of craftsmanship and attention to detail that mirrors the quality and refinement seen in the collection's fabrics and construction. By choosing this artist, we were able to tie the historical inspirations of the collection — such as feminine knit silhouettes, pointelle patterns, and unique necklines — to a visual element that evokes the same nostalgic yet fresh appeal as the Cordially Invited collection itself.

Ultimately, the rose print and the vintage floral artist embody the collection’s balance of tradition and modernity, evoking the charm and sophistication of past eras while offering something new and vibrant for today’s fashion landscape. Discover the Sonia Rose Print.
