Bursting onto the fashion scene in leopard print in 1974 (two years after
Diane von Furstenberg moved to New York), the wrap dress became a huge success and a symbol of seventies independence. Come SS19, it remains a sartorial icon, updated in the
Forrest dress with a more evening demeanour. Panels of silk, lace and velvet make up the silhouette, sweeping to a midi length. What more could you need? Oh yes, a velvet-wrapped waist.
