1. (above) Modern Traditionalist
Edgy details counter the classic silhouette of Rosa Clará’s “Neon” dress. Flaunting a V-neck front and V-neck back, the raw gazar gown also sports pockets and frosted beading motifs. A bow-tied belt flatters the waist while exposed arms show some skin. Price upon request, from designerloftnyc.com.
