Curator's Note:

A finely crafted maxi dress from Phool, made in India from fluid, weighty woven viscose in a rich deep aubergine hue. The relaxed silhouette falls from delicate spaghetti straps into a generously cut, sweeping skirt with graceful movement.

Understated from the front, the reverse reveals a dramatic open back framed by an intricate hand-looped cordwork panel, creating a striking sculptural effect. A distinctive piece balancing simplicity with artisanal detail.
