Maynard Ikat-Print Evening Dress

The Maynard dress is defined by its timeless column silhouette and a beautifully draped cascading ruffle that runs down the bodice and skirt. It's crafted from silk gauze made from coarse, hand-spun yarns to create a rustic look and features one of the season's intricate ikat-inspired motifs, which is hand-embroidered with detailed beadwork for added texture and dimension. Prints and patterns from this season's collection are inspired by designs traditional to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and cultures throughout Asia. The interwoven global history of ikat techniques – from as early as the 10th century – holds cherished historical symbolism and varied origins across cultures in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
