"Square Cut Out" Dress
Designer Grace Ling
Not on view
ALLURE A power of attraction or fascination:
Grace Ling’s spring/summer 2022 "Square" collection was a meditation on the square as a fundamental element of architectural form. The "Square Cut Out" dress, which can be worn front to back, features a mesh cutout that reveals the chest, or the back, from the bust to the navel, and bisects the arms. The transparent frame draws attention to the area of the body revealed beneath. Ling draws inspiration for metal embellishments, including the crossbar of the "Vertebrae" bralette here, from the body’s biomorphic forms.
