Aurora’s note

 To celebrate Leila Janah’s life and work, we created this dress in her memory. 

You can read the full story here.

Light up your nights with this dramatic maxi dress, with its glowing sun rays and symbolic golden hands. In a genuine African Wax Print, this sophisticated gown features a double-breasted bodice and a deep front slit for ease of movement. We named this dress in honor of the social entrepreneur Leila Janah, who dedicated her life’s work to helping people in poverty find dignified employment — a principle that the golden hands in the center of the skirt encapsulate perfectly. With a luxe sheen to the fabric, this statement gown is made for enchanted evenings.
