Selema Dress by Diane von Furstenberg

Posted on | Leave a comment

Dvfdress

Among the designer houses there are only a few who are reliably retro season after season. Chiming with a vintage-look aesthetic once again is Diane von Furstenberg, with a new line including this Selema Dress.

Featuring a floral print that manages to be both current and retro, the cut of the dress takes cues from a sixties and seventies aesthetic. The collarless high neckline and casual loose cut tap into a Eastern-influenced kaftan style, always associated with a late sixties chic.

It's available online in the UK from Matches Fashion for £346.
