Story & heritage
Lisa Folawiyo’s work has long treated print like painting, and Black Paint Dress takes that literally. Seen on the Autumn/Winter '18 runway, it translates the brand’s expressive graphics into a long-sleeve evening dress.
The result feels more art object than simple occasionwear.
Materials & craft
The page describes a silk dress with abstract paint-splash motifs, a fluid silhouette, an elongated scarf detail, a concealed back zip, and a 100% silk composition.

How to choose & style
Keep accessories pared back and let the painterly surface carry the outfit.
This is the sort of dress that looks strongest with a clean heel and quiet jewelry.
