Lazuli Presents…
THE FASHION LAB BY PEBBLES KING
Tuesday Style Fashion (TSF) maintains its runway momentum, serving up highlights from the NCB-powered Lazuli event hosted at Mediterranean hot spot Mezza Luna on July 4, including pieces from The Fashion Lab by Maria “Pebbles” King and Kadian Nicely’s The Gardenia Collection.
Bespoke and distinct, The Fashion Lab’s collection fuses vintage flair with modern style through its signature statement pieces. According to King, the collection is uniquely defined by flawless tailoring, romanticism and avant-garde theatricality, transforming clothing from mere garments into provocative statements.
Inspired by the graceful bloom of the gardenia flower, The Gardenia Collection captures a different stage of a flourishing garden — from delicate blossoms and soft petals to vibrant sunshine and dreamy movement.
The collection combines handcrafted floral embellishments, voluminous silhouettes, and lightweight fabrics to create wearable art that is both whimsical and sophisticated.
“Every piece tells its own story while celebrating femininity, confidence, and effortless beauty,” Nicely told
TSF.
TSF showcases the best from both collections.
