With Rachel Dafforn’s futuristic, tunic-like dress “Edge,” the muted colors, clean lines, and surprising geometry project a subdued and dignified playfulness. Dafforn crafts her dress with a soft, brushed cotton and corduroy, and her color palette is narrow, ranging from the soft black of the high-waisted black skirt to the mossy green that hides behind a gray top. The unusual triangular cut from this top, combined with the comfortable, wide wale of the corduroy provide an interesting mix of the modern and the traditional. This mixture of style and material makes Dafforn’s dress as fun and friendly as it is earnest and thoughtful.
