DELICACY Fineness or subtle expressiveness of touch:
Brandon Maxwell is best known for the luxe aesthetic and sense of wit he applies to eveningwear. Drawn from his Texan roots, his designs combine elements of formality and informality to project a sense of relaxed glamour. For this dress from Maxwell's spring/summer 2020 collection, he transformed the cummerbund of a men's evening suit into a bandeau bodice. The skirt's delicate layers of silk gazar are neatly gathered into a second cummerbund placed at the waist.
