Royalty

"Royalty" is Maria's proudest independent work: a 19th century princess ball gown created for a strong, independent entrepreneur with three flourishing businesses. The gown is a portrait in fabric of ambition, elegance and self-determination.

The project required more than 30 metres of luxurious fabric and over 80 hours of meticulous work, not including the design phase or the many fitting sessions. Maria also served as artistic director of the photoshoot, weaving a visual narrative of strength, beauty and independence.

"Royalty" is a testament that every woman can embrace her inner royal status, through ambition, determination and the ability to shape her own destiny.
