Helene

Behold: the everything-you’ve-ever-dreamed-of holiday top, whose puff-sleeved, bare-shouldered glamour extends far beyond the holiday season (but oh what a treat it would be to have the dream in your closet for December through January). The Helene is made with soft Japanese velvet, its body the ideal shape for tucking in and out. Named after Helene Cixous, a novelist, literary critic and poet famous for her work that explores gender, bisexuality and the unconscious mind, this top is unafraid to declare itself to a room, to make its presence known — and invite its wearer to feel deliciously, almost impossibly sexy.
