The dressSHELL — pleats, bare shoulders, corset

The SHELL is a pleated maxi evening dress with bare shoulders, created for women who want an elegant gown with character. A fully pleated texture, a corset base with built-in cups and an open back form a silhouette that looks both architectural and airy. The volume of the fabric comes alive in motion, and the pleats add movement to every step — making it equally at home on screen and at a wedding, a formal event, a photoshoot or a special summer evening.

The appearance of REPULO’S in the film is another example of how Ukrainian brands are becoming part of a cultural product seen by a wide audience.
