The Open-Back Cotton Dress

A Spring/Summer masterpiece

Today we introduce The Open-Back Cotton Dress – by Marc Le Bihan.
A style which reveals contrasts: avant-garde and bucolic, dark and romantic, rich but effortless.

This robe tablier in cotton voile is a timeless piece which shows Marc Le Bihan’s mastery and his unique vision of fashion. Made by hand in his atelier in Paris, it’s for a specific niche of people who can understand the designer’s unconventional creativity and exceptional quality. So, a meaningful garment made to last and stand out with that nonchalant elegance typical of Marc Le Bihan.

About the design
The shape recalls an apron dress with a square cut neckline along the front. Two front straps in grosgrain connect with two back ones by creating a neat and sophisticated open-back design. Also, the open-back is adjustable thanks to a drawstring along the neckline, which enriches the fluid silhouette.
It’s a fully lined garment. Specifically, the lining cut is asymmetric and peaks through the hemline, giving a bodied shape and no see-through effect. Under-knee length with a raw-cut hemline.
The fit is comfortable but very stylish, and you will not go unnoticed.

About the material
100% cotton voile. Even though fully lined, the material is lightweight and fresh. Moreover, the hand of the fabric is slightly creased, highlighting the effortlessness of the dress.

About the colour
White: a candid and pure colour with an aristocratic image.

Laundry
Dry clean.
However, it is possible to wash carefully by hand in cold water with very soft soap. Please, wash it separately.

The Open-Back Cotton Dress is perfect for the Spring/Summer summer season. But it’s beautiful also in a layered styling. So, try it with a wool jacket or a cable knit cardigan when the weather gets colder.

The Silk Double Dress

Timeless nonchalant elegance

Today we introduce The Silk Double Dress – by Marc Le Bihan.

Fashion to us means offering a value choice, meaningful pieces made to last. And creativity, together with artisanal production, makes fashion special. Indeed, these elements give life to unique garments, beautiful pieces that you don’t find everywhere. And it is part of their intrinsic value.

When it comes to searching for uniqueness, creativity, and artisanal work, Marc Le Bihan has a lot to say. So let’s discover another one of the stunning timeless pieces we picked out for the Spring-Summer season.

The Silk Double Dress

About the design
This lightweight dress is made of two layers of silk featuring an asymmetrical cut and under knee-length. Specifically, they are two separate dresses, which you can wear all together or just one. A tone-on-tone Chantelle lace along the neckline and a front lace flower enrich the above dress. The second dress is less decorated, with boat lace detailed neckline and lace along the hemline.

About the material
100% silk. The hand is soft and slightly shiny. Moreover, its creased effect makes this dress suitable not only for special occasions but for a dose of nonchalant elegance.

About the colour
Bronze: a delicate dusty shade that adds a sophisticated touch. The image is impalpable and refined.

Laundry
Dry clean.
However, it is possible to wash carefully by hand in cold water with very soft soap and add white vinegar to prevent colour loss.

When you wear the complete ensemble, The Silk Double Dress is opulent but effortless at the same time. If you choose to wear only one layer requires a slip dress under, and even if less rich, the image is always beautiful. 
For special occasions, pair it with minimal heels. Or, try it with lace-ups or flat sandals for a nonchalant outfit.

What stands out is that garments designed with mastery don’t need marketing labels (which are frequently fluff or fake). Why? Because those pieces have a soul. Therefore, they incapsulate all the values such as timelessness and sustainability now popular in fashion. But for a more selected audience who can understand good design and quality, straight to the point.

The idea starts from a slip top, two thin straps and a v neckline along the front and back. Specifically, two overlapped layers of silk, with raw-cut hemline, shape an asymmetric drape along the right side, which recalls a long tail. Indeed, in the unique silhouette and richness of the material lies the absolute beauty of the design.

About the material
100% silk. The hand is soft and slightly shiny. Moreover, its creased effect makes this top suitable not only for special occasions but for a dose of nonchalant elegance.
