This caterpillar dress is from the Fall-Winter 2013-14 season. In this collection Agatha presents her most recognizable silhouttes —balloon dresses, michelines, dinosaurs, roosters, books, hoops, meninas— with the classic icons of the brand: flowers, stars and hearts. Velvet is the fabric that unifies the entire collection, a noble ecological material that amplifies color like no other, and has been for years a classic of the house.
