Piper Overskirt No. 012 Cape & Dress
The Piper No. 012 is a metamorphic design, a modern piece that transitions effortlessly between overskirt, cape, and strapless dress, all in one. Reversible and multifunctional, this unique garment is crafted from deconstructed and repurposed fragments of the finest designer upholstery textiles, featuring names like Oscar de la Renta and Kravet. Each textile fragment holds incredible depth, with rich, vibrant colors, hand-embroidered details, and intricate woven patterns, transforming heritage into style.
Every Piper overskirt offers a new level of versatility in slow fashion—designed to elevate any wardrobe with countless styling possibilities. Bespoke designs available in limited quantities. The Piper is thoughtfully crafted to flatter a wide range of body types, from sizes 2-14 US. On smaller sizes, the skirt creates a full, elegantly gathered, bustle effect, while larger sizes highlight a more contoured, refined drape with gentle gathering. Its adjustable design ensures a perfect fit for every body, celebrating your unique shape and style. Explore our images and models for varied size representations and styling options, with the mannequin featured in a size 6 US.
🌿 Sustainable Luxury
The Fragments collection is a celebration of sustainability and global craftsmanship. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted from exquisite, deconstructed upholstery samples—panels that would have been discarded if not for this artistic revival. These rich fragments, from magical color combinations to embroidered details, are reimagined into wearable works of art.
Each Piper features adjustable hardware and a beautifully flowing grosgrain ribbon that can be styled into bold, elegant bows or left to cascade effortlessly. The extra ribbon can be tailored to size and even worn as a choker or bracelet—an expression of personal style. It’s a harmonious blend of my love for timeless fashion, exquisite jewelry, and a commitment to environmental conservation through thoughtful, slow-fashion design.
💎 Elegant and TImeless
Each piece is finished with 14K Gold or Sterling Silver 925 tags and our signature eco-kind woven label for authenticity. Customize your fit with the adjustable gros-grain ribbons (trim to fit), and enjoy the luxury of a velvet hanger and garment bag to store and protect your one-of-a-kind creation. Each fragment tells its own story, with rich textures, hand-embroidered details, and mesmerizing color palettes that bring depth and dimension to every piece. Tradition is woven into every thread, creating a seamless fusion of art and style.

As a special gift, I’m including my seasonal aromatherapy blend with every order—a simple touch to elevate your experience.
The foundation of my creative endeavors is rooted in an ethnological admiration for diverse cultures. My design sensibility draws inspiration from the primitive allure of tribal jewelry and artifacts, encompassing elements such as tiles, pottery, textiles, garments, and the rich spectrum of colors embedded in them. Intricate details found in ancient weaponry and armor captivate me, fortifying my connection to history across various genres.
The global tapestry of flavors and herbs from different lifestyles serves as an endless wellspring of stimulation for my creative process. Each day, I am fueled by the influences of family, music, architecture, nature, and the intricate ecosystems that surround us.
A cherished pastime involves visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, a tradition shared with my incredible son. Witnessing his growing appreciation for the museum experience brings us closer together.
