Bazaar Italia narrates the project: “ It’s about refining, reducing and subtracting until the essential remains, learning to tell a story through details, in a subtle way”. Molloy’s research translates a “careful sensitivity to the shapes, materials and meanings that the dresses can evoke.”

Additionally, “the sartoriality of dialogue with the spontaneity of gestures and the dynamics of the group, giving life to a spontaneous tale struck by a subtle sense of mystery.” Hmmm. That’s not a word salad. It’s a five course meal. ~ Anne
