An eveningwear expert beloved for her contemporary approach to design, London-born Emilia Wickstead dreams up the Ilyse dress with sleek cocktail soirées in mind. Artfully crafted from lightweight panels imbued with sumptuous silk, the style is moulded to a sleeveless silhouette that's spliced with a V-neckline and sculpted with a midriff-baring cut-out. Left free of frivolous details, it's primed for pairing with a margarita or two.
