Inspired by all things gothic and Victoriana, Susie Cave originally started her label
The Vampire’s Wife exclusively for a small group of friends; since then, it’s risen to cult status thanks to pieces like
The Falconetti dress. Spun from a wool and silk-blend imbued with glistening metallic threads, it’s shaped to the label’s hallmark silhouette: 3/4 length sleeves, high neck and trimmed with ruffles around the hem and cuffs. As for styling, we’re thinking of chunky Mary Jane shoes.
