Iridescent taffeta cold-shoulder top and wide-leg trousers

A two-piece in green-to-navy iridescent taffeta: a cold-shoulder top with a sculptural cuff and matching wide-leg trousers, between concrete pillars.

A two-piece in iridescent taffeta that shifts from green to navy as the light moves: a fitted top with an asymmetric V neckline and a folded collar point, the right shoulder cut away, a long sleeve that starts below it and folds into a large sculptural cuff at the elbow, and a short pointed peplum. The matching wide-leg trousers are high-waisted with a sharp centre crease. Black thin-strap heeled sandals.

An evening suit for people who do not want a gown. Taffeta holds a shape, so the folds stay where they were put. Wear it late spring to early autumn, for an event or a long dinner, with the hair down and nothing else shining.

It changes colour when I move. I move when I feel like it.
