Alessandra Rich proclaimed that her muse for AW20 is “ready to have fun” – and we couldn’t be happier about that, to be honest. A quirky new take on the classic LBD, this slinky calf-length iteration is cut from tactile, midnight-hued velvet that’s cinched at the waist with a tonal, oversized belt doused in ruffles. Flip to the back, and you’ll see where the designer’s element of fun really comes into it – this style is slashed to create a skin-baring cut-out between its oversized shoulders.
