Balenciaga Emerald Green Crochet Dress, 2017

The House of Balenciaga has had a commitment to maintaining a subtle sense of traditionalism in its aesthetic. Upon arriving at the house, creative director Denma Gvasalia revitalized a reverence for folksy craft details and injected a newfound vibrancy to the brand.

Done in an emerald silky viscose crochet, this circa 2017 maxi dress speaks to a combination of modern ease and craftsman design technique. From a boat neckline, the dress has a relaxed fit through the torso and falls into a high-low semi-full skirt with a distressed hemline. Fitted sleeves with dropped armholes allow for a snug yet comfortable wearing experience.

This cozy crocheted dress is versatile, easy to wear, and is a perfect modern bohemian look that can be worn alone or layered.
