The Apex Panel Dress

£1,200.00

One-of-a-kind sustainable statement dress that merges industrial lines with luxurious, repurposed materials. This piece is a wearable architectural concept, defined by its contrasting textures and structured silhouette.

The Core: The body is constructed from a shimmering silver stretch remnant fabric, providing a sleek, reflective, and comfortable foundation.

The Contrast: Sharp, voluminous white cotton organza panels define the upper chest and the skirt's lower hem, adding ethereal volume and sheer, matte contrast to the silver core.

The Structure: The back panel is a truly unique feature, crafted from a panel of white real leather remnant. This provides structural rigidity and is pierced by an industrial, long, chunky metal zipper that runs dramatically down the centre spine—a signature utility detail.

The Finish: A functional, short zipper at the front neckline allows for flexible styling and adds another modern, utilitarian touch to the garment's neckline.

This dress is an investment in cutting-edge sustainable design—a bold, geometric piece for the collector who values exclusivity and responsible luxury.

Size: S/M (stretch material) Chest - 35.5”/90cm, Waist - 28”/71cm, Hips - 35.5”/90cm

Care Instructions Due to the complex, contrasting material composition (stretch fabric, cotton organza, real leather, and metal zipper), this garment requires highly specialised, professional care. Specialist Dry Cleaning for Mixed Materials is Required. This item must not be machine-washed or hand-washed due to the real leather panel, which can shrink and crack, and the delicate cotton organza, which requires careful handling. Leather Care: Gently wipe the white leather panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing or using chemical solvents. Zipper Care: Ensure the chunky zippers are clean and dry before storage. Storage: Store on a wide, padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag, ensuring the organza details are not crushed. Avoid storing in excessive heat or humidity.
