ARANJUEZ ANIMALIA

“The taste of granita al limone lingers. I sit, scribbling flashes of inspiration: gilded ceilings at Palacio Real, the colour-washed halls of Aranjuez, a hospital painted in joyful defiance, ceramics tumbling from stalls and alcoves. I can’t remember where one moment ended and another began; everything drifts into a beautiful mid-trip blur.”

Founder & Creative Director, Camilla Franks

Behind-The-Print: Aranjuez Animalia

Aranjuez Animalia has been crafted into neutral animal print silk dresses and signature silhouettes in La Casa De Camilla collection. Drawn from the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, particularly the opulent throne room, this print captures the architectural layout, elaborate borders, and regal detailing. It features subtle nods to the palace’s early history as a hunting lodge in symbolic fauna, seamlessly blending heritage and nature. It is thoughtfully layered with iconic CAMILLA animal motifs, enriching the designs with depth and storytelling. La Casa De Camilla is a dedication to the art of making by hand.

How To Style Neutral Animal Print Silk Dresses

This is leopard print done softly. Enhance the softness with layers, pairing with a leather blazer, cashmere knits, or chunky cardigans for a sophisticated, textured look. Colour-wise, treat it as a solid neutral, accessorising with black, white, cream, or camel.
