Silhouette

Sheath

A clean column, straight from shoulder to hem

A narrow, straight-cut silhouette that follows the body’s natural line without flare — modern, minimal, and quietly severe.

The sheath is the most architectural shape we cut. With no flare to hide behind, everything depends on the seam placement and the fabric’s weight, which is why it is the silhouette our tailors most often adjust after the first fitting. It reads sharply modern in crepe and quietly luxurious in silk.

Who it suits

Anyone after a minimal, elongating line. Works especially well for corporate and premium commissions.
