La Robe Palmi Stretch-Wool Maxi Dress

Hailing from the sun-drenched region of Provence, it’s hardly surprising that Simon Porte Jacquemus’s collections for this eponymous label are always home to a slew of skin-baring creations. His latest line-up, Le Splash, is no exception. The La Robe Palmi dress is a figure-hugging silhouette whipped up in a stretchy wool blend that contours around every curve down to the hem and is finished with cut-outs at the chest.

• 95% wool, 5% elastane

Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
