The brief
A summer of openings and dinners outdoors. She wanted one dress that could carry three very different evenings without looking like the same night.
The pieces
How it came together
The dress. A bias-cut silk slip in garnet with a crossed open back. It moves, so it does most of the work.
Three evenings. Bare with flat sandals for dinner; a bone linen overshirt for the opening; a walnut leather jacket for the late, cooler nights.
What we skipped. Statement jewellery. The back is the statement.
