Claudie Pierlot hails from the City of Love itself, so it's only right for the brand's designs to be instinctively romantic. For proof, there's the Reception dress, which has us thoroughly charmed even though we don't currently have a Parisian mini-break in the calendar. Layers of fluttery fabric and a nipped-in smocked waist make it a shoo-in for date nights and the like, while the intricate floral motif is inspired by an old-world antique print.
