Azzedine Alaïa Pois Luxe Wool Dress: Dressed to the Nines

Alaia_BottegaVeneta_SaintLaurent_JimmyChoo

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of putting on a brand-new dress. But there’s really nothing like the feeling of putting on an Azzedine Alaïa dress, no matter how long you’ve had it. Consider the Pois dress, of stretchy wool dotted all-over with metallic embroidery, a true investment piece, on par with a must-have bag or shoe. A classic and flattering fit (you already know Alaïa is famed for his brilliant understanding of the female figure), with a slim waist and full skater skirt, makes this a timeless must.

Just make sure you do it justice; a dress is only as good as its accessories! A lean and no-nonsense stiletto pump will bring a sense of sleekness (to the dress and your legs), and Jimmy Choo’s degradé-effect suede-and-leather pair emphasizes the gleaming embroidery. Top the outfit off with hit of red, courtesy of Saint Laurent’s perfectly simple Marquage clutch and Bottega Veneta’s stunning rock-crystal cuff for just a touch of high-class punk. Now all you need is somewhere fabulous to go! On Matches Fashion for $3,721.
