A nipped waist is emphasised on this black dress by contour lines of rhinestones and chevron yoke. Balloon sleeves echo the floating full-length hem, while fitted cuffs and modern collar add a sharply tailored touch to semi-sheer georgette.

Reinterpreting the sleek, androgynous tailoring of 30s sirens like Greta Garbo and Hedy Lamarr, the Villanelle Story evolves classic Temperley partywear into a look both modern and timeless.
