The changing manners of modern dressing were on Louise Trotter's mind when conceptualising
Joseph’s AW18 collection. The Creative Director draws on traditional menswear silhouettes with pieces like this
Locke dress. It certainly evokes the classic button-up with its full placket, sharp collar and pure silk finish, but it’s cut to fall to a midi length with D-ring tabs to cinch the waist and cuffs. Tone down the clean-cut formality with some box-fresh trainers.
