ALESSANDRA RICH

Poka-dot regular-fit silk maxi dress

Though we're well into the 21st century, Italian-born, London-based designer Alessandra Rich frequently takes inspiration from the 1940s for her eponymous label’s collections. This dress from her latest line-up is proof. Imagined in pure silk, its retro influences can be seen in the ditsy polka-dot pattern, swishing ankle-skimming hem and prim puffed sleeves. Forget a time machine; all you need to hop back in time is a slick of red lipstick.
