From business formal
to ladylike – there was
a white shirt-dress for
every kind of woman
on the runways of
Spring/Summer 2017.
Some of them were
asymmetrical and
sleek while some were
flowing with crisp
tailoring or meticulous
deconstruction. The
silhouette’s versatility
is appropriate for any
purpose and gives
a very subtle look as
white can act as both
clinical and minimalist
at the same time.
Evening maxi dresses
from Lanvin as well
as Moonyounghee
flaunted amazing
assortments of shirt-
dresses in gentle fabrics. In most collections, it
was noticed that they were oversized, buttoned
up and full sleeved. Alberta Ferretti unveiled the
trend in an asymmetric design with a longer trail
at the back while Prabal Gurung’s version was a
midi-length feminine dress with a front slit.
