The art of the detail

The Martine minidress is a study in texture and form. Its design features an adaptable neckline that can be worn on or off the shoulders, complemented by dramatic puff sleeves with intricate ruching. A drawstring defines the waist, flowing into a full, gathered skirt that creates a lively silhouette. The fabric is a lightweight blend of cotton and viscose, woven with subtle metallic fibres that impart a soft luster to the vibrant yellow color, enhancing the dress's dynamic movement and textural depth.

How to wear

Style the Martine minidress to suit a variety of elevated occasions. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals and a sculptural clutch for evening events or summer weddings, allowing the dress’s bold color and form to remain the focal point. For a sophisticated daytime gathering, team it with refined leather slides and minimal gold jewelry. This approach creates a balanced ensemble perfect for garden festivities, where the dress moves beautifully with every step.
