Stella McCartney Magenta Pink Corset Dress Runway 2003

Stella McCartney is no stranger to color and balanced sexy designs. Aimed at women from all walks of life her designs are versatile and can typically be styled as the perfect day-to-night outfit. Her Fall 2003 collection offered a kaleidoscope of jewel tones that blended professionalism and boudoir. From that line, this dress is done in a raspberry silk satin with nylon-spandex mesh accents.

The corset-style bodice features exposed boning channels and seams so that the dress appears to be inside-out. From a dropped waistline the skirt falls straight into a wide satin band with a small slit in the back that ends just above the knee. Distressed mesh straps that can be worn as seen or off the shoulder complete this look. A unique, raw-edge cocktail dress, this dress can be seen in the images above on the cover of Vogue and various other press images.
