They come at the hour when the last light is dying, pale and silent, drawn towards the faintest flicker of a candle flame. The Kiss Before Night Castellan Corset is a darkly romantic apparition, its midnight-black tapestry haunted by ghostly grey moths, their delicate wings like fragments of ash suspended in the darkness. Creatures of twilight and strange metamorphosis, they seem to hover between the living world and something altogether more spectral, as though summoned from the pages of a forgotten Victorian ghost story. An exquisite little study in nocturnal beauty, where even the most fragile things possess a sinister enchantment.

There is something terribly poignant about the moth's devotion to the flame, that fatal longing for the very thing which threatens to destroy it. A beautiful creature drawn irresistibly towards its own vanishing, its wings trembling in the final moments before darkness. A little emblem of doomed romance, of kisses bestowed too late, and of all the exquisite things that perish for the sake of desire.
