As Vogue pointed out, the
Ports 1961 60th anniversary show was "peppered with aesthetic complications": one look at this dress and the sentiment becomes clear. Drawing on vintage couture tropes, it's formed from layers of diaphanous silk splashed in a groovy abstract graphic, with a classic tie neck and theatrical cape sleeves that flutter at your every step. A sharply pleated panel at the back is another of the label's surprises.
