Cape-effect dress in crepe jersey
Céline • Spring-Summer 2018
-
Made in fluid crepe jersey, this dress showcases a cape-like feature that draws inspiration from the past.
The distinct manner in which the belt wraps through the interior back appears to be plucked from certain iterations of Cristobál Balenciaga’s iconic sack-back styles from the late 1950s. This detail creates shape on the front while keeping the lines of the back uninterrupted.
In similar execution to the original's cocoon-shaped backs, the cape on this dress is connected to the body from the waist down to the hemline, rather than being a completely separate feature. This grants the illusion of a long dramatic cape without the added fuss of maneuvering it.
Beside the attached twin belts on the front, two gusseted pockets with side openings are thoughtfully added, both large enough to fit a mobile phone among other things.
