Looks like Lanvin

While perusing the racks at The Ramp in Glorietta, I chanced upon this little black number from Details. Even from afar, it succeeded in drawing me in. I think the big, black "SALE" sign helped, too.



When laid flat, it doesn't look like much. Good thing they had one on the mannequin. The dress, when worn, looks something like Tilda Swinton's Oscar dress. (The dress fondly known as "hefty bag.")



The material of the dress is stretch jersey, but with a shiny coating, making it look like the washed silk material that Tilda's dress was made of. What gave it added oomph is the gathered details on the neck of the dress. It lets the entire dress drape diagonally denoting dimension. (Aye! An alliteration!)



And because it was on the sale rack, the dress was also unbelievably cheap! Now that's the look of Lanvin, for much, much less.
