Arcina Ori’s Deux Modes Part II is a study in contrasts: soft femininity meets bold, modern structure. Every piece feels deliberate, and every silhouette a statement.  In today’s review, we take you through the mood and standout pieces that make Deux Modes Part II a modern fashion manifesto.

MOOD

Parisian wanderlust cascades with contemporary allure, whilst effortless femininity finds daring modernity. Sculpted drapes, refined silhouettes, and a palette of both nuanced neutrals and on-trend hues evoke poise and power; all anchored by Arcina Ori’s unique edge. It’s simplicity at its finest, yet simultaneously far from simple. We fell in love with the collection instantaneously and believe it’s the perfect drop for the festive season, while remaining timeless and destined to be celebrated for years to come.

OUR TOP PIECES

The Arabella Dress

The Arabella Dress is quintessential Arcina Ori: a harmonious blend of femininity and luxury in a dreamy, flowing silhouette that epitomises understated elegance. A fitted lace bodice and wide off-shoulder straps flow effortlessly into a floor-length sheer skirt, creating a silhouette that exudes effortless beauty. Passers-by’s might just utter, “ça vous va parfaitement” (it looks perfect on you) and anyone who hears it will instantly sense avoir du chic (to have style). Pair with minimal gold jewellery and nude heels for a quiet yet sophisticated statement.

The Sadie Top

Timeless, contemporary, and vintage versatility: the Sadie top is a season-less piece, fit for any wardrobe. Its sweetheart neckline beautifully frames the décolletage, while the satin-lace blend and delicate draping flatters every body, and adds a further feminine edge. This top may just be our top pick of the season. Indeed, Sadie, seamlessly transitions from casual luxe with denim to elevated day-to-night styling with a daring maxi skirt or tailored trousers. Soft, feminine, and endlessly wearable; Sadie is the very definition of absolute elegance and is utterly perfect for composing any look.

The Avery Dress

Bold, confident, and unapologetically head-turning; the Avery Dress is a masterclass in modern glamour and sensual femininity. The dress is perfection is every way: a sculpting silhouette, an off-shoulder neckline, and a striking red hue that allows the dress to command attention with ease. We’d suggest minimal accessories: think cream stilettos, subtle gold jewellery, and lustrous curls to let the gown do all the talking. Perfect for festive evenings or standout events; it’s modern femininity at its finest.

The Jade Dress

Once again, the glorious azure blue takes centre stage. This season, bold colour is far from absent, and the Jade Dress is nothing short of striking. The tie-waist, cut-out accents, and elongated sash epitomise the house’s essence, while the soft jersey fabrication deepens the portrayal and allows fluid movement to meet architectural shaping. And of course, we must pause to admire the colourway; an eye-catching vision, yet effortlessly refined — simply chapeau. Whether styled with strappy heels for evening elegance or flats for daytime ease, the Jade Dress embodies the duality and sophistication at the very heart of Deux Modes Part II.

To wrap up our review of this breathtaking collection, one statement sums it all up: Deux Modes Part II feels like a dialogue between structure and softness, tradition and modernity. Arcina Ori has seemingly woven magic into every piece. From the quiet sophistication of the Arabella Dress and Sadie Top, to the confident pop of Avery Red, and the timeless allure of the Jade Dress; it is assured that each look feels intentional, curated, and unforgettable. This collection is the very epitome of modern femininity not being one-dimensional; instead, it is bold, nuanced, and about making it entirely your own.
