Silver. One metal, once a year. A silver brocade blazer dress with cut-outs at the waist and a draped panel on one side, pulled in by a wide black leather wrap belt. I check my watch in it. Nobody notices the watch. No tights, pointed pumps, somewhere with low light.

A silver metallic brocade blazer dress with waist cut-outs, a draped asymmetric skirt panel and a wide leather wrap belt.

The dress is cut like a double-breasted blazer in a silver metallic brocade, a crushed foil texture broken up by black cut-work that reads like shattered glass at a distance. The shoulders are padded and sharp, the sleeves long and ruched at the wrist, with a slit at each shoulder and a cut-out at either side of the waist. Below the hip a draped panel falls from the left seam into an asymmetric, floor-skimming train while the right side stops at mini length.

A wide black leather wrap belt, buckled and knotted, does the work of a waistline; without it the volume would swallow the shape. This is an evening piece for cold months: a launch, a late dinner, a rooftop at the last light of the day. A black stiletto sandal or a pointed pump keeps the eye on the fabric, and no tights keep the proportions honest.

Metallic brocade at sunset is a lot. That was the point.
