Oumayma knows the power of an amazing mini dress, as proven here by her silky and faux-feather style.
I might be a fashion editor, but the reality is that I don’t own that many designer pieces. I’m very frugal and give every purchase I make serious consideration, more often than not talking myself out of spending anything at all. At least, anything that doesn’t feel absolutely worth it. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate designer clothing—far from it. In fact, I think my lack thereof has meant I don’t take any designer pieces that I do own for granted; their shine and appeal never fade. I believe anything high-end should make you feel the same way, which is why I regularly take time out to unearth the very best designer pieces for you, and today, it’s all about dresses.
Karina proves that dresses can bring the drama even on the beach.
Whether you’re heading to a wedding or looking for the perfect style for your Euro-summer holiday, dresses are at the fashion forefront right now, and there’s certainly no shortage of beautiful options to consider. However, when it comes to finding the best designer dresses, unlike when you invest in a bag and want it to be classic, I believe a designer dress should be more of a showstopper. You know, the kind of statement “wow” dress that’ll get everyone talking.
But which designer dresses are the best this season? I went on a deep dive; these styles made me come up for air.
