Collection: TINY INK

The TINY INK look

Painted and embellished surfaces on structured fabric are the signature. Zibeline, a crisp silk-like weave, carries most of the long pieces: the Lustre Reverie Sheath Cape Sleeved Zibeline Floor Length Dress, and the Song Of Freedom Sheath Side Pleated Zibeline Floor Length Dress. Satin brings a softer fall in the Isla Straight Long Sleeved Satin Floor Length Dress and the Calla Straight Batwing Sleeved Duchess Satin Maxi Dress.

The ao dai group is the largest. The Nova Blossom Sheath Back Zipper Twill Ankle Length Ao Dai and the Skylar Rose A-line Side Slit Twill Ankle Length Ao Dai are in twill; the Blooming Twilight A-line Front Slit Zibeline Ankle Length Ao Dai, the Celestial Vanguard A-line Bell Sleeved Zibeline Calf Length Ao Dai and the Amaryllis A-line Mandarin Neck Zibeline Calf Length Ao Dai are in zibeline. Pair them with the Brilliant Straight Wide Leg Cotton Ankle Length Pants.

Capsules and separates

The tailored, bead-worked pieces belong to the Gestural Anatomy Collection - Tiny Ink: the Gesso Applique Blazer, the Liminal Bead Blazer, the Tilia Applique Blazer, the Gesso Sequin Skirt and the Impasto Sequin Midi Dress among them. The Inner Blossom Trapezoid Bell Sleeved Zibeline Calf Length Coat is the statement outer layer. Compare with other skirts and the full ao dai collection.

When to wear TINY INK

The brand is bought for anniversaries, festive and New Year celebrations, wedding guest occasions and cultural events where an ao dai is appropriate. Almost everything is long-sleeved, high-necked or floor length, including the Nerine Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress and the Lustre Reverie Sheath Cape Sleeved Zibeline Floor Length Dress, so Gulf customers can wear the collection as is, and the ankle-length ao dai with pants are a popular Ramadan and Eid choice. See the gowns collection, the cape sleeve dress collection and the new modest edit.

How does TINY INK fit?

Sheath and straight cuts are fitted through the bodice with structured fabric and no stretch, so order by bust, waist and hip from the size chart on each product page. Ao dai are sized to the body and slit at the side; the pants are sold separately where listed. Ankle and floor lengths assume a heel.

How should I style a painted piece?

Treat the artwork as the jewelry. Plain satin shoes, a small hard-case bag and a single earring are enough. The blazers from the Gestural Anatomy pieces work over a plain black dress or trousers when you want the embellishment without a full gown.
