A striking fusion of myth and modern ease, Acropolis by the Sea is a long, backless summer statement crafted to flow with the Mediterranean winds. The bodice, made from structured linen in a coral-hued basketweave print, contours the torso with a halter neckline and a smocked back—offering a flexible, comfortable fit that adapts to your shape.
Below, the skirt cascades in a breezy sweep of illustrated voile—lined for a soft, non-sheer finish, yet light enough to move like sea mist. The design features a tapestry of coastal icons, ancient motifs, and architectural nods to the Acropolis and the Citadel of Alexandria. It’s a dress made for myth-making—perfect for island wanderings or golden-hour gatherings by the shore.

Design Story:
In a city where tides meet time, Acropolis by the Sea was born—where the fortified stones of Alexandria’s Citadel echo the footsteps of Greeks who once called this coast home. The design bridges two grand legacies: the Acropolis of Athens, perched above ancient civilization, and the Qaitbay Citadel, standing guard over Alexandria’s Mediterranean horizon. This dress captures a world where cultures converged, where Greek influence flowed through Egyptian streets, and where architecture met the poetry of the sea.
The patterns on the skirt recall mosaic legends and cityscapes—palms, columns, and citadel walls—and the umbrellas of Alexandria, fluttering along the shoreline like a modern ode to coastal life all grounded by a woven bodice that nods to classical armor softened by the feminine silhouette of a sea goddess.
