Editor’s Styling Note
“Needle & Thread is a modern love story stitched in sequins and tulle. Because the dresses are incredibly detailed and inherently romantic, the secret to styling them is modern contrast. Skip the heavy, traditional jewelry. Instead, pair this piece with a sleek, minimalist metallic sandal, a bare neckline, and a sharp architectural clutch to ground the ethereal volume of the tulle.”
