Description:

Dries is known for being and eccentric designer, and is one of the original Antwerp 6 Collective, a highly influential group of fashion design graduates that took the fashion industry by storm in the late 80s. His work is said to be characterized by use of prints, colors, original fabrics and layering. This shift dress is a perfect example of those exact properties. This simple straight shift is void of decoration with the exception of a ruffle flounce reaching from chest to behind the shoulder blades The original silk fabric has been custom designed so that the body of the dress is an opaque mini print design, while the upper bodice, flounce across the chest and under the arms is in sheer voile incorporated with metallic threads.
