<\/p>\n
Harris Tapper\u2019s resort collection is inspired by bedwear from the 1930s and 60s. This asymmetric flowing silk chiffon dress is a masterclass in soft power \u2013 triangular inserts (called godet) create subtle flare through the skirt, while sheer texture conjures tricks of the light. <\/p>\n

Dominique Healy\u2019s minimalist dresses are incredibly versatile. Layer with a button-up or sweater, or pop over a pair of togs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This diagonal stripe dress features a scoop back. There are little details that create polish, like the amber coloured beads at the end of the removable belt. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
