Nina Kaftan, short black lace kaftan
The short black lace kaftan: that is the idea behind the Nina design, which takes the codes of the traditional garment and brings them to a midi length, closer to a cocktail dress than a classic ceremonial outfit. The result can be worn both at a wedding and on other occasions, making it a rare piece in its category.
A short black lace kaftan that plays with transparency
The appeal of this short black lace kaftan lies in its interplay of fabrics: floral lace covers the shoulders and long sleeves with a semi-transparent veil, while a crepe lining structures the bodice and skirt, remaining opaque where needed. The result is a silhouette that is both covered and subtly revealing, without ever becoming ambiguous. A slim belt, decorated with a gold buckle, defines the waist and accompanies a central slit—the kind of detail that draws attention without overdoing it.
Where to wear it
A dinner, a cocktail party, a wedding reception after the ceremony, New Year's Eve. Nina moves beyond the traditional long kaftan and is designed for those who want the spirit of the garment without its length. Black or gold pumps, gold jewelry echoing the buckle, and a black clutch. Available from sizes 36 to 42; the size guide will help you choose, as the crepe lining is fitted at the bust.
Care: dry clean to preserve the lace and the buckle's shine. Store hanging in a garment bag.
