Chocolate brown gives this IVKO dress a warm, refined base that allows the many colours and patterns to come beautifully into their own. Lilac, rust, soft blue, cream and various earthy tones appear as small accents throughout the design, giving the dress a rich appearance without making it feel too busy.

The inspiration comes from traditional Portuguese Azulejo tiles. IVKO has translated their geometric shapes and ornate decorations into fine knitwear, with each part of the dress following its own rhythm. Up close, there are always new details to discover; from a distance, everything comes together as one elegant whole.

The bodice combines different bands of pattern, while from the waist down, vertical lines dominate the skirt. This arrangement visually elongates the silhouette and allows the colours to blend beautifully. The plain chocolate-brown sleeves, stand collar and waistband provide a calm frame for the richly patterned design.

From the defined waist, the skirt falls softly and generously. It moves beautifully as you walk, while the bodice sits more quietly along the body. This interplay makes the dress feminine and elegant without feeling formal.

The warm colour palette is easy to combine. Wear it with cognac or taupe for a soft tonal look, with dark brown for extra depth, or choose an accessory in lilac or rust to echo one of the colours in the pattern.

The combination of 67% wool and 33% viscose gives the knit pleasant warmth as well as suppleness. This makes the dress comfortable to wear and allows it to fall beautifully along the body.

A dress in which colour does not need to shout for attention: it is precisely the many nuances, the distinctive pattern and the movement of the skirt that make it so appealing.
