Pastel pastries promenade through the palace. Clouds of cotton candy tulle drift weightlessly through the air. Alicia Perrillo’s Sweetest spins a luscious story of sophisticated silhouettes and Elizabeth the First’s secret sweet tooth.

At a distance, the garments appear elegant and graceful, but Sweetest rewards a closer inspection with a panoply of irreverent and whimsical details. 

Sweetest is inspired by Elizabeth I and Marie Antoinette, by their personal style, their shared passion for sweets and love of beautiful things, by the layout of bakeries and candy shops, the packaging of cakes and candies, and celiac disease. The collection features silk taffeta, silk organza, tulle, lace, grosgrain ribbon, organza-wrapped crystals, handmade rosettes dyed with a wash of food coloring, giant bow features, festive eyepatches, and pockets to hide your secret snacks.
