Lilya Brik

Mermaid or ballgown — just add the overskirt. The base is a fitted mermaid in all-over Chantilly lace. High neck. Long sleeves. Every centimetre covered in dense floral lace over a nude lining. Closed, modest, architecturally precise — with the body entirely visible underneath. Attach the detachable lace overskirt, and the silhouette transforms. The fitted mermaid becomes a full ballgown with a cathedral train. Same lace. Same density. Completely different presence. The high neck has a scalloped edge. The sleeves run to the wrist, fitted, no volume. The back is illusion — lace over skin, buttons running down the spine. Two silhouettes. One lace. One bride who refuses to choose. Lilya Brik stood at the centre of the avant-garde. Mayakovsky wrote his greatest poems for her. Rodchenko made her a propaganda icon. She was muse to all of them and owned by none. This gown covers everything and reveals everything — exactly as she did. Hand-crafted in Innocentia's European atelier. All-over French Chantilly lace. Lilya Brik (INL2710). Innocentia Divina — Muse collection.
