Behind the design
This silk dress belongs to Marc Jacobs’s spring/summer 1993 work for Perry Ellis. Its dark front and pale side sections organize the body through contrast while retaining a narrow, uncomplicated outline.
Look closer
Follow the dark front panel and pale side sections. Their contrast defines a narrow silhouette without elaborate decoration.
