A simple yet beautifully elevated summer dress – and one of the centrepieces of our collaboration with Laila Gohar – drawing inspiration from historical aprons and workers’ smocks. The design is composed of two parts: a fitted bodice that can be worn on its own as a cropped top and a voluminous gathered skirt that buttons onto it. Made from crisp airy cotton poplin the dress features sheer panels and details in pure silk organza at the sides armholes and along the lower part of the skirt creating tonal variation and lending the silhouette a delicate feminine expression while also offering breathability for warm-weather occasions and everyday wear. The cotton and silk are joined with delicate zigzag seams inspired by vintage lingerie.
