Dresses have always held a special place in how I understand fashion. They move through eras, changing shapes and meanings, adjusting their volume and rhythm to fit the cultural moment. Today, I see the dress as a canvas. Flexible, layered, precise or abstract, absorbing the subtle ways I relate to style. The silhouettes I choose range from sleek columns to cozy cocoons, from minimal to ruched, from body-hugging to completely loose.
I no longer feel tied to strict rules or occasions. I wear dresses both on city streets and at home, experimenting with different fabrics and designs. Moving away from rigid categories gives me freedom to play with proportions and combinations. Cut-outs and asymmetry often catch my eye, breaking the expected flow of a design.
Draped fabrics create undone lines across my figure, while tailored pieces soften with uneven hems or raw edges. Sleeves sometimes feel oversized or disappear entirely. Straps barely there or knotted, give me new ways to anchor a dress to my body. What defines the modern dress for me isn’t one fixed shape but the freedom to arrange it as I wish. Designers and I experiment with contrasts structured versus deconstructed, monochrome versus collage, seamless versus visibly stitched.
These experiments show how much I value clothing as form, not just function. In this light, the dress is both a symbol and an invitation open to endless possibilities and undefined in its final form.
