Chalayan looked at the construction of a classic cowl neck to give this dress a real sense of structure. By padding the contours of the naturally fluid detail, the contemporary brand proves how a directional twist can totally transform a silhouette from standard to statement-making. Falling gracefully to the floor, the crepe skirt has all the motion that a deep split at the back hem delivers, allowing you to sashay in your favourite pair of stilettos.
