Rosebud & Thorns Dress

Red Rosebud & Thorns Dress

The red rosebud that captivates the narrator in Le Roman de la Rose becomes the spark that sets love’s journey in motion. Paired with the symbolic thorns standing for the five arrows of Amor, this creation celebrates the thrilling beginning of love—radiant, wounding, alive.
