Momento Bohéme Long Maxi Slip Dress w/ Starling & Skull

This dress is a stunner— cream, dusty rose, and sage glowing against the dark background like a moonlit garden. For everyday wear, we’ll be layering ours with a cropped leather jacket, ankle boots and the matching tote — grounded, creative, and a little mysterious ;) For warmer days, wear it on its own with sandals and delicate silver or pearl jewelry, letting the luna moths and starlings catch the light as you move. And for evenings that call for some nocturnal drama, layer it beneath the matching Opera Duster, add lace-up boots and a vintage belt — then go dance under the moon. Remember to live, and wear something beautiful while you do.

The witness, the luminous heart. Women who stay awake to the beauty of being alive, who carry wonder with them through every season. Women who remember to live.

The tradition known as memento mori has appeared in art for centuries, especially in European painting and illustration from the 16th and 17th centuries. These works often included everyday symbols — flowers, birds, insects, wheat, books, hourglasses and sometimes a skull — woven into scenes of daily life. Rather than being meant as something dark or morbid, they served as subtle reminders of life’s fleeting nature, encouraging the viewer to notice beauty, cherish time, and live with intention.

In many historical still lifes, these symbols sat alongside ripe fruit, handwritten notes, or musical instruments — objects meant to be used and enjoyed. The message was simple and human: nothing lasts forever, and that is precisely what makes each moment precious. Over time, this artistic language became less about endings, and more about presence — an invitation to pause, to feel, and to savour what is here.

With Momento, we were inspired by this tradition, but chose to turn it even more toward hope. By replacing memento mori with memento vivere — remember to live — the images shift from cautionary to celebratory. Moths and butterflies speak to transformation, wheat to nourishment and continuity, birds to companionship and movement. Even the skull, softened by flowers and moonlight, becomes not a warning, but a quiet reminder: this moment matters. Be here for it :)
