Description
A celestial statement of shimmer and sophistication, the Solarte beaded crepe blouse captures light with every movement.
Crafted in supple crepe, the 16Arlington Solarte blouse is a luminous expression of the brand’s signature eveningwear glamour. The semi-sheer crepe base provides a fluid, sculptural drape, while intricate beadwork catches the light like scattered sunlight — giving the piece its evocative name. The relaxed silhouette flows effortlessly from a flattering neckline into softly voluminous sleeves, creating a romantic, almost ethereal presence on the body.
Founded by Marco Capaldo and Federica Cavenati, 16Arlington has become one of London’s most coveted contemporary luxury labels, known for its modern, party-ready aesthetic that fuses Italian craftsmanship with a distinctly British cool. The Solarte blouse embodies this ethos: an effortless, after-dark essential elevated by artisanal embellishment and the kind of considered proportions that have made the house a favourite on the red carpet and among the style set.
