A masterclass in modern gothic romance.
This Rochas maxi dress is the ultimate "main character" piece. From the front, it offers a high-necked elegance, but the back tells a completely different story, with a plunging open-slit detail and a delicate ribbon tie at the nape.
The silhouette is defined by its architectural, balloon-shaped sleeves which are heavily ruched along the top seam to create a poetic, voluminous drape that feels incredibly editorial. A wide, smocked elasticated waistband grounds the fluid viscose crepe, creating a flattering hourglass shape before spilling into an above-ankle length skirt.
It’s the kind of dress that requires very little effort but delivers maximum impact- perfect for when you want to look like you’ve just stepped out of a dark-academia dream or a high-fashion gala.
Original retail price was approx £1,450.
