Crystal Claw Gown
A fluid jersey gown sharpened by claw-like crystal embroidery at the shoulders.
Story & heritage
David Koma’s gowns translate the same body-mapping impulse into floor length. The Crystal Claw gown uses an asymmetric hemline and shoulder crystals to create a sense of motion even when the dress is still.
The motif is pointed rather than floral, matching the designer’s taste for beauty with an edge. It is a red-carpet shape without excess volume: the drama comes from drape, shine and the body line.
Materials & craft
The official version is made in the UK from fluid jersey. It has crystal-embroidered claw details at the shoulders, an open drape detail on the back, an asymmetric hem that cascades at the sides, and a hidden side zip.
How to choose & style
Choose this when the brief calls for drama but not a ball skirt. A high sandal keeps the long side drape clean; silver jewelry echoes the shoulder embroidery without adding clutter.
