metilda
This season also brings in a new embroidery design inspired by Australian native flora, with the Metilda gown. Prea collaborated with a textile designer in Paris to create this fabric, inspired by the eucalyptus tree and its unique flowers and leaves, they created an organic and textural embroidery in ivory tones. The sample motif was created in Paris and then sent to the PJB team of embroiderers in India who produced it on a larger scale. The fabric panels then come back to Australia to be sewn by the Prea James in-house team of seamstresses.
With a fitted bodice, delicate square neckline, scooping down to a slightly lowered back, spaghetti strap detail and a half circle skirt, the Metilda gown has incredible movement in a very feminine and modern silhouette.
Metilda spelt with an ‘e’ is the name of one of the employees at the embroidery atelier in India, which seemed like the perfect fit for this gown.
