Surfing was the inspiration of choice at Sportmax for SS19, but the references weren’t as obvious as you’d expect. In the case of this dress, it’s the fluid satin that has us thinking of an ocean; the calm after a storm. It’s pretty much uninterrupted as it pools to the ankles, save for a gathered panel at the small of the waist to simultaneously nip in and flare out the silhouette. Forgo stilettos in favour of trainers; as approved by the Italian label.
