Althéa
Althéa is a blouse with volume and contrast. Its sleeves are very puffy, gathered at the armholes and tightened by a knotted bias on the wrist. The body of the blouse flares, the front and the back are independent towards the waist but two light links allow to gather and tie Althea on the hips. The boat neck reveals the shoulders with femininity and highlights the last two ribbons of the blouse that are tied on the shoulders. Althéa is the poetry of knotted cords that oppose the power of volumes.
