Strapless Abstract-Print Maxi in Black and White

Black and white in an abstract print, cut long and strapless — this maxi is graphic from across the room and considered up close.

The straight neckline draws one clean line across the frame, and the back answers with the detail: an elasticised strap for a snug, flexible fit, a cut-out, and a cowl of fabric that gives the exit as much design as the entrance. The dress is partially lined, keeping the drape light as the print moves.

A monochrome palette means the styling argument is already settled — silver or black accessories, a sharp heel, perhaps one cuff. It suits evening events, city weddings and dinners where photographs will be taken, because pattern this bold reads perfectly in black and white pictures too. Strapless, floor-length and printed: three decisions that add up to one very deliberate dress.
