A triumph of décor and movement
The evening gown is reborn through draping
"Margot Robbie certainly doesn’t need it, yet even she relied on masterful draping for the Oscars red carpet, confirming that – after diamonds – pleats, panels, and drapes are a woman’s best friends. They enhance body lines and add sleek charm: they are the undisputed stars of Winter Season 2024 evenings, available in floor-length or ultra-mini versions. Alaïa presents seductive maxi dresses with bare shoulders, slits, and sheer details, most notably the 3D-printed silk and wool spiral dress with a curved, structured bustier. For those who prefer shorter lengths, there is Balenciaga’s mini-dress with a train, Alexandre Vauthier’s violet sequinned option, or Mugler’s transparent creation featuring layered stretch nylon tulle, boning, and ruffles. Beyond black, there is red: the evening gown by Magda Butrym is breath-taking: bare shoulders and a large fabric rose securing the draping at the hip."
