Nothing says Erdem more than a print – the London-based designer just does them so well.

This Zoffony dress is a case in point: the richly hued kaleidoscopic print is a piece of art in itself. We could literally become absorbed in it for hours!

We love the fusion of sharp tailoring and sleek, fluid fabrics that has become synonymous with the label, and this season, the dresses emerged as the undisputed hit of the autumn/winter 2011 collection.

This dress is an example of why: formed to have a flattering fit, detailed with a buckle belt and gathered arms, and made from 100% silk so you know you’ll be investing in a future vintage classic.

It’s distinctly Erdem and it’s distinctly beautiful – a classic in the making, we think.
