The Column Gown, and the Art of Restraint

Atelier Saskia's founder once said that a gown should be quiet enough for the woman wearing it to be heard. The Column Gown is that philosophy, cut on the bias.

How to wear it

Let the silk do the work. A single piece of jewellery — the Halden Orbit Cuff, perhaps — and a slender sandal are all it needs.

Fabric

The washed silk is heavy enough to fall cleanly and light enough to move. It travels remarkably well: hang it in a steamy bathroom and it is ready.
