ERDEM
Erdem Moralioglu indulges his fascination with British history each season, unearthing unlikely muses from his studies. For Pre-Fall, he explores the second half of the 19th century with its looming advancements in industrialization—turning out a dreamscape of modern Victoriana with high-neck, puff-sleeve shapes tailored in Broderie Anglaise. Find them alongside romantic fusions of handiwork and machine-made textures that nod to the period’s sartorial experimentation and the shifting social status of women—from embroidered cotton faille to densely embellished gowns and dresses in arsenic-like hues, plus novel spins on corsetry.
The buy: the pink sequin gown with embellished collar and cape details.
