La Robe Saudade Crinkle-Texture Woven Midi Dress

Jacquemus fans will already be well acquainted with the La Robe Saudade dress. First seen on the brand’s 90s-inspired AW20 runway dubbed “L’Année 97”, it’s reintroduced for the label’s Le Splash collection. Spun from a lightweight woven fabric that’s swathed in a crinkled texture, the midi is once again sculpted to a louche draped silhouette with gathering down one side, a square neckline and a low back fitted with two barely-there straps.

• 88% viscose, 12% polyamide; lining 97% cotton, 3% 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.
