An endlessly flattering silhouette meets a clever fabric combination to create Claudie Pierlot ’s recasting of a night-out favourite – the LBD. First, the cut: an artfully balanced wrap-over affair that’s secured by a self-tie belt to one side. It’s the fastening that leads us to the tonal detailing, as the weightier finish of its mini skirt creates the illusion of a well put-together two-piece ensemble (with half the work).
