• 100% viscose woven fabric with a soft drape and cool handfeel - it skims the body without clinging, moving with the wearer rather than against her.
• V-neckline sits open at the chest with a gathered collar detail that frames the décolletage with considered structure.
• Full-length bishop sleeves - voluminous through the arm and gathered at the wrist - give the silhouette a distinctly editorial proportion.
• A contrast trim at the waist draws the eye in and anchors the billowing volume of both the sleeves and the sweeping maxi skirt.
• Abstract animal spot print is scattered unevenly across the fabric, giving it an organic, hand-painted quality rather than a uniform repeat.
• Fully lined for a clean, smooth finish against the skin - the skirt has enough volume to catch movement with every step.

The silhouette here does a specific job: the nipped waist trim holds the shape while everything above and below it is given room to breathe. The bishop sleeves are the detail that sets this apart from a standard maxi - gathered, full and deliberate, they bring a sense of occasion without requiring anything else to do the work. The skirt falls from the waist in a wide, sweeping line that reaches the ankle, sitting closer to dramatic than demure. Styled as seen on the model, strappy heeled sandals let the hem length read correctly and keep the look refined rather than relaxed. For a gallery opening, a long lunch or a smart daytime event, wear it as a complete look and keep accessories to a minimum - a slim clutch and simple gold jewellery are all it needs. The print is bold enough to carry the outfit on its own terms.
