OvH x Disney Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Maleficent’s influence on the styles brought old school glamour with a modern fierceness. The brand’s cult Coco pyjama has been reimagined in a sumptuous silk velvet and embellished with black Swarovski buttons and a large-scale embroidered wing motif. A beautiful feathered silk devoré fabric, inspired by Maleficent’s raven, Diaval, is used on an ‘Issa Atora’ slip dress and ‘Delphine Atora’ gown; while a dramatic floor length black crepe-de-chine ‘Ares Fatale’ gown has a stunning faux feather cape.

In contrast, the Aurora inspired pieces are the light to Maleficent’s dark; feminine and ethereal. The brand’s most popular ‘Lila’ pyjama and ‘Queenie’ robe are printed with a lilac floral ‘Apple Blossom’ print inspired by the magical forest where Maleficent and Aurora met. Aurora’s costumes in the film provided inspiration for the celestial ‘Delphine Innocence’, a delicate floor length silk organza dress with puff sleeves and ‘Edie Aurora’, a whimsical short style with pearl button detailing and intricate floral embroidery. In a modern take on Aurora’s ethereal style, a shell-pink silk lurex ‘Grace’ fabric shimmers on the Issa and Aureta dresses creating an otherworldly mood.

“Growing up with Disney, I found from an early age that the characters I was drawn to the most were the villains, the rebels, the rule-breakers. They were dangerous, interesting, had depth to their characters - and were so glamorous and well dressed! Women are complex and powerful and I believe that we all have a Maleficent and an Aurora within us, and I wanted to create a collection that would enable women to explore and embrace these contrasting sides of their personalities.”
