Silk Cady Maxi Dress

For the “Valentino Black Tie” Fall / Winter 2023 collection, the Italian Maison challenges the ultimate sartorial convention, the black tie—reinterpreting it in countless iterations to dismantle its rigid connotations of masculine power. Together with its trusty white collar, the skinny black ValenTie morphs into flirty black minis, appears natural under oversized striped knits and luxe outerwear, contrasts coolly with sublime gowns, and is right at home with variations on classic shirting.

Made from a woven silk cady, this maxi dress features classic shirting details as well as a gathered waist and skin-baring leg slit. Try yours with chunky boots and a shoulder bag to dress it down a touch,
