Story & heritage

The label began as Jewel by Lisa, so an embellished statement dress from Spring/Summer '15 sits close to the brand’s origin story. Green Embellished Ankara Dress captures that early mix of print, beadwork, and dense surface decoration.

It is the kind of piece that shows why the house became known for turning Ankara into eveningwear.

Materials & craft

How to choose & style

Style it like jewelry for the body: a simple sandal, small earrings, and an uncluttered bag.

The fringe and beading should stay in charge.
