Luxury womenswear brand Ardazaei has launched ‘Midnight in the Persian Garden’, an evening wear collection of red-carpet gowns and cocktail dresses, tailoring, jewellery and accessories.
In what the company calls a “poetic ode to the transcendent beauty of nature”, ‘Midnight in the Persian Garden’ aims to honour the complex systems of engineering required to create spaces through couture’s intricate techniques of smocking, pleating, embroidery, and appliqué.
The collection sees a recurring reference to the Persian Rose and the Parrot Tulip, with the flowers informing silhouettes, three-dimensional sculptural forms, and elaborately embroidered jacquard.
The collection is made in France in collaboration with couture artisans.
Bahareh Ardakani, ArdAzAei’s founder and creative director, said: “I have been searching for the long-lasting beauty and respect for nature that you’ll find in the Persian garden, some of which date back to as early as 4,000 BC
“This is reflected in our endeavours to certify part of our collection to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and why this collection is made in France with the country’s leading couture artisans. Every detail is precious, and we want to express the feeling of walking through a Persian garden in the midnight to the smallest of details.”
