Known for his whimsical designs, Creative Director Alessandro Michele revolutionized Gucci with his flair for drama and love of mixing traditional house codes with contemporary fashion. It’s best to expect the unexpected from this designer as he produces collection after collection that surprises and delights. According to Alessandro, his 2020 Resort collection was a “hymn to freedom,” and featured a range of styles that emphasized individuality and personal choice. From that collection, this shirtdress is the perfect blend of modern sophistication and menswear with 1970s undertones. Done in a multicolored silk, the dress features the maximalist Gucci Rhombus...

Red, baring and slinky, this Dolce & Gabbana minidress is designed to command attention. When it debuted in the spring/summer 2003 runway show on supermodel Gisele Bündchen, it led Vogue’s Sarah Mower to write, “power-womanhood is not extinct on planet Fashion.” And when Steven Meisel focused his lens on it for the season’s ad campaign, it became iconic—and highly collectible. Cut from a luxurious stretch viscose jersey, this LRD is crafted to drape beautifully on the body and accentuate its every move. Rather than hug every curve, it has an easy blouson top (that is even more full at the back) to leave more to the imagination and to balance the revealing deep V at its sides and the short skirt. Coordinating spaghetti straps and drawstrings funneled through a middle panel of the dress allow the wear to customize the fit and length. Wear the piece without or with the stunning ruched arm bands...

Malcolm Starr was launched in the early 1960s as a dress line that features simple, easy-to-wear dresses. While the 1960s is famously painted as the Space Age decade, Malcolm Starr dresses showcase to other side of 60s style, one that is characterized by vivacity, optimism, and playful colors.

Best known for his high-end, feminine silhouettes, haute couture designer Givenchy rose to international acclaim during the 1960s by creating his signature looks for actress Audrey Hepburn. Maintaining a classic romantic elegance to his designs, Givenchy began experimenting with bolder colors and pattern options around the 1980s. This dress is made from a vivid green silk that has red-violet cherries throughout. Satin spots add intermittent luster throughout. A modest neckline rounds into slightly gathered short sleeves as classic silhouette evokes Givenchy’s traditional style. The skirt includes an overlay that is hemmed with a sweeping ruffle that adds some playfulness to match the print. An excellent vintage piece, this dress can easily be worn as a casual day dress...

Denim is masterfully rethought in this avant-garde Tricot Comme des Garçons day dress . The utilitarian textile in a rich indigo blue is gathered, pleated and ruffled to take on a lightweight appearance in the pretty knee-length silhouette. The bodice alone is genius in its intricacy with its puffed short sleeves trimmed in sweet pleats, its asymmetrical center front finished with a ruffle of raw fringe and its abundance of gathers that meet at the seams to create a traditional fitted-waist silhouette minus any of the normal dress pattern...

There is usually an ode to art in Yves Saint Laurent’s fashion. Whether through style lines, prints, or colors, Saint Laurent consistently has been shown to design with respect for the past, present and future. Though a 1980s design, Saint Laurent recaptures a 60s/70s feel and reprises it to a fresh ensemble. Done in a vivid silk print, this skirt and blouse features a floral motif with colors of teal, Kelly green, wisteria and yellow orange on a vermillion ground. The blouse slips over the head and is tied to the left shoulder. The yoked skirt...

Done in a silky nylon jersey, the dress features an eclectic print of alternating stripes of white cut-out starbursts and marmalade orange and yellow starbursts on a black ground.

British designer JW Anderson is a trailblazer in the contemporary fashion market. With a vast array of unique collections and collaborations, Anderson’s aesthetic offers a much-needed reorientation of fashion by combining elements of timeless tailoring and artisanal handicraft. Following this vision for his Spring 2019 collection, this macramé dress is a perfect testament to design that is both simple and complex. The bodice of the dress is a combination of white and anthracite crepe de chine. The liquid fabric drapes beautifully over the shoulders creating a mock-shawl effect while the white and grey provide a sophisticated contrast. On one of the sleeves, the grey crepe is ruched while the other is split at the shoulder. This asymmetry provides additional interest to the very geometric lattice beading on the front of the bodice. The skirt is slightly pegged and is done from a neutral linen underlayer and a macramé overskirt that incorporates wooden beading in the mix of the knotting. The skirt finishes with a band of widely spaced fringe. The combination of raw edges, wood, and natural tones, paired with the modern silkiness of the grey crepe give this dress a refreshing and serene vibe. It can be worn for a casual day dress...
