This latest spring collection by Galia Lahav, “Victorian Affinity”, was inspired first and foremost by the designer’s “Victorian Affair” evening couture collection, which draws upon the distinctive style of the Victorian era. The collection is dedicated to Jeanne Margaine Lacroix, a designer who challenged the Victorian style and changed how femininity is perceived.

With an emphasis on volume, creating chimeric silhouettes and endless trains, the collection features a colour palette of soft porcelain ivory, dusted silver, washed pinks, smoky blush and cream. Adding a touch of romance are delicate textured laces, deep coloured backgrounds and elaborate details, alongside Victorian motifs such as high collars of course.
