Empire Rose is a Western Australian label, founded in Perth in 1998 by designer Kathryn Cizeika, better known for technicolour retro prints and a mash-up of high glamour and street style; this piece is a rarer, quieter departure into black and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designer nicknamed this piece 'Prada', entirely unofficial, earned by the hidden closures and utility-minded restraint that put her closer to Prada's late 1990s and 2000s technical minimalism than to Empire Rose's usual colour. Nothing here is dressed up for the sake of it. Every seam is doing a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe placket closes with plastic poppers, hidden from view once fastened, and the whole front is built around that quiet mechanism rather than a visible row of buttons. The armhole runs 20cm and the neckline drops 11cm from the shoulder, both cut close and clean rather than loose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44179958792326,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3933.jpg?v=1784778865","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/fault-line-empire-rose-1990s-2000s-technical-pin-tuck-top","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
