Kezia Flower Ribbon Dress

This silhouette draws on the late 90s, when evening designs began to move away from heaviness in favour of motion and light. The elevated embellishment, exposed back and flowing ribbons recall red-carpet aesthetics, but in a more contemporary, pared-back form. There is something of New York minimalism here and something of a baroque love of ornament, yet without literalism. The whole piece works like fashion that remembers gesture, not just form.
