The black dress has long held its place as a wardrobe icon, praised for its versatility, revered for its permanence and often reduced to a blank canvas for endless reinvention. But in the world of CAMILLA, black dresses are anything but ordinary. Each silhouette is reimagined as wearable art, a composition of decadent detailing and artisan craftsmanship where rich textures meet hand-illustrated prints. Designed to transition effortlessly from sun-drenched afternoons to moonlit soirées, these pieces embody the poetry of contrast: timeless foundations transformed with a bold, contemporary spirit. From sculptural shapes that command attention to fluid forms that whisper with movement, CAMILLA black dresses redefine what it means to dress in the dark.

How To Style CAMILLA Black Dresses
CAMILLA celebrates the power of the little black dress, while reimagining it through the CAMILLA lens, bold, expressive and endlessly versatile. From sculptural minis and flowing maxis to fluid midi silhouettes, each designer black dress is designed to move with you, from sunlit lunches to twilight soirées, milestone celebrations to nights that never end.
By day, ground its drama with quiet details: ballet flats, delicate gold jewellery and a printed tote that softens the silhouette. A sculpted midi dress that moves with ease or a corset mini dress paired with heels or sculptural sandals makes every daylight moment feel intentional.
As dusk falls, lean into the drama. Amplify your look with crystal-encrusted accessories, luminous heels and a glossy, defined lip that commands attention. A tailored blazer or embellished belt can transform the silhouette from effortless to editorial with a single layer.
When the moment calls for unapologetic presence, embrace maximalism. Layer on statement gold jewellery, richly textured outerwear, or offset the depth of black with vibrant accessories inspired by our blue dresses, purple dresses, or brown dresses.
