Simkhai channels its signature sophisticated sensuality into the Laurel dress. This design is defined by its strategic waist cutouts and a fluid, tiered maxi skirt that creates elegant movement. An ideal choice for warm-weather soirées, it brings a sense of modern refinement to any occasion.

The art of the detail

The Laurel dress showcases meticulous construction in a striking blue hue. It features a self-tie halterneck that creates a flattering frame, complemented by delicate ruching at the bodice. The defining elements are the artful cutouts at the waist, which flow into a voluminous, tiered skirt for a balanced silhouette. Crafted from a lightweight, fluid fabric that drapes effortlessly, the maxi-length design moves with grace. The textural quality of the material adds a subtle depth, enhancing the overall design and ensuring a comfortable, polished feel.

How to wear

Style the Laurel maxi dress with metallic heeled sandals and a sculptural clutch for an evening at a coastal resort. The vibrant color and dramatic silhouette make it a standout choice for sunset cocktails or an elegant open-air dinner. For a city-based event, such as a gallery opening, pair it with refined gold jewelry and simple mules to let the dress’s intricate cutouts and flowing form remain the focus. The design adapts beautifully from daytime celebrations to more formal nighttime gatherings, offering a versatile yet impactful option.
