Soraya Bennett

Architectural evening wear built on a foundation of raffia and silk.

Soraya Bennett — Raffia gown, finale01

Profile

Trained in Paris and returned for good in 2014, Bennett builds evening wear like buildings — raffia armatures under silk, boned so lightly the dresses hold a shape and still move. Salt Architecture closed the Ward Theatre with a single ivory gown that took the atelier four months.
