Rilexa Split Velvet Midi Dress

When autumn calls, you begin to spot a few familiar fabrics cropping up. There's an abundance of leather, a plethora of cable knit layers, and last but not least, velvet, which is what makes up the Rilexa dress from Parisian-based label Maje. Imbued with plenty of stretch for extra comfort, this midi is sculpted into a striking silhouette, with a daring thigh-high split and a round cut-out at the waist that allows for a glimpse of more skin.

• 91% polyester, 9% elastane

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
