Luxurious statement drapery is having a moment this season, manipulating silhouettes with a seemingly effortless, yet masterful approach. Fabrics exquisitely falling from the body with such elegance and femininity, evocative of the Greek godesses that have long graced the arts. A certain softness and etherealism now made modern, reinterpeted into plunging cowl necks, slinky hips, pinched details and skin-baring wraps, contrasted with bold accessories and sophisticated structure. A timeless detail any bride can embrace to accentuate or subdue the body. Select the right fabric and it will do all the work — opt for silks and jerseys for a fluid, cascading look, or taffeta for a more voluminious and malleable style.
