Patchwork Printed Cotton Midi Dress

Co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia deliver your much-needed dose of wearable optimism, with joyfully feminine designs that pay homage to the house’s legendary founder and set the tone for next year. The key motif? Pineapples — a symbol of warmth and hospitality and a favorite of Mr. de la Renta.

It's seen here spliced into this dress made in panels of stretch-cotton poplin, each printed with a different motif. Note how the asymmetric hem sways so effortlessly. Keep your accessories to a minimum.
