Impeccably cut, the Akira halterneck dress combines classical elegance and understated femininity, with a halter neckline framing the gathered chest panels and fastening in a bow, the curved waistline flowing to a low back, the floor-length skirt draping to fluid tailored perfection.
Exuding a majestic air, the Akira eveningwear story is made from a luxurious hammered silk satin, with a patina texture, sumptuous drape and burnished fluidity of movement. Painstakingly hand-painted, composed into a surreal fresco-style artwork, featuring block colour segments and bold borders that bring a modernity to the regal smattering of jewels and pearls, filigree motifs and heraldic scrolls.
The Akira print is hand-painted in-house, with motifs meticulously placed to perfect the collaged composition, then rendered in garment sketches and engineered to flatteringly fit the body. All styles are printed in Italy and made in Europe.
Halter V-neck
Low, curved back

Process
Temperley prints are painstakingly hand-painted in-house. Motifs are collaged onto the body then lovingly engineered into compositions that work in harmony with the garment’s panelling, ensuring the printed fabric flows flawlessly across seam joints when the garment is constructed. The process is both meticulous and spontaneous, with an outcome that is truly unique and artisanal.
Materials
Committed to creating unique and original textiles, the Temperley team designs lace and woven fabrics in-house at our atelier, which are then crafted by our trusted partners at expert mills across the globe. We utilise best quality Italian tulle, soft and sheer, perfectly structured with a flawless drape. Another staple material includes luxurious silk, woven to create a lustrous effect, with a smooth and radiant finish, perfect for eveningwear.
Our Atelier
Imagined by our team at the creative hub and beating heart of the brand, our atelier in Somerset — infusing a bohemian spirit, intrinsically woven into the pieces, the exquisite craftsmanship, blending modern techniques with artisanal mastery.
Responsibility
With an ardent commitment to slow fashion, we at Temperley are always consciously looking forward, for ways to be better, considering every step in the process. We create garments that should last a lifetime and encourage caring for these creations so they can be handed on. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with a story to tell and memories to be made.
