Gigi Madras • The baby-doll shirt

I dreamt of a cloud of (exquisite) fabric;
I dreamt of a blouse that flies while spinning;
I dreamt of gathers, pleats, ruffles... and jewelry buttons by the thousands!

I dreamt of a shirt whose elegance would be matched only by its crazy exuberance. I dreamt of a shirt that would have this singular power to attract everyone's attention.

I dreamt of Gigi. What else?

Gigi is my tribute to Cristobal Balenciaga' iconic Baby-doll dress, my all-time favorite!, revealed to the public in 1959.

Composition :
Main material: 100% silk-taffetas

Care instruction:
Good news! Gigi Madras can be washed at home, either by hand or using your washing machine, with some caution due to the exceptional nature of its fabric. More specifically, wash it in a laundry bag at a maximum of 30°C, on a gentle cycle, with low spin speed. For drying: lay flat and air dry (absolutely no tumble drying!). For ironing, choose the "delicate / silk" mode of your iron or (even better!) use a steamer. Any doubt? Entrust your loved one to an eco-friendly laundry or call us for further advice!

When to wear it?
Great news! You can enjoy our beautiful Gigi all year round.
In the Summer and Spring, as simple (and divine) as it comes. In the Autumn and Winter, the radiance of its Madras silk-taffetas will brighten up the grayest days. Our personal advice? When it gets cooler, wear your Gigi as an "over-shirt", on a skinny ribbed sweater.

How to wear it?
For a 100% Carlos-Carlos' chic & shock look, we (strongly) recommend you to pair your beautiful Gigi with our dear Carlotta gingham or blue. Absolutely divine! If you are looking for a more "business-yet-very-unique" outfit, you may consider wearing it with skinny tailored pants or a pencil skirt. More in the mood for jeans+sneakers? We gotta! Worn open over a white tee-shirt, Gigi will bring just the right amount of sophistication to make your seemingly casual outfit absolutely irresistible.
