Introducing GILDED GLAMOUR : modern decadence redefined
The 'Gilded Glamour' collection by Paulinah Eboh-Sampson for Dolls of Decadence draws its inspiration from the extravagant opulence of the late 19th-century Gilded Age in the United States, a period marked by both massive wealth and societal tension between old traditions and the rise of new systems.

Rooted in party and evening wear, 'Gilded Glamour' is a dazzling blend of old-world charm and modern allure. The collection spans a variety of standout pieces, from red carpet-worthy gowns to shimmering mini dresses. Fabrics are indulgent, featuring plush velvets, oyster-hued sequins, deep emerald greens and rich gilded tones of silver and gold.

Paulinah's key design elements include high-slit gowns, exaggerated sleeves, and a return of the brand’s iconic hooded silhouettes, paying homage to the Dolls of Decadence’s signature aesthetic of bold, sexy, and powerful femininity.
Targeted for the sophisticated woman who commands attention, the collection is designed for party-goers and red-carpet enthusiasts. The timeless elegance and modern opulence of these designs ensure they are perfect for high-profile occasions, particularly during party and awards seasons.
Overall, Gilded Glamour delivers a fusion of classic luxury and contemporary style, offering a sensual yet powerful collection that celebrates the extravagance of both the past and present.
