Seductive boudoir style was exhibited at various levels of undress on the autumn/winter 2022 catwalks – think scarlet and lace pantyhose at Blumarine and Gucci, dominatrix buckles at Roberto Cavalli, and lashings of Latex and vinyl at Coperni, Versace, Courrèges and Sportmax. But for something a little softer, the slip dress – insouciant and eternal – emerged as one of the key dress silhouettes of the season.
A host of labels served up their interpretations of the slinky spaghetti-strap stalwart. No 21’s Alessandro dell’Acqua, who has long had bedroom eyes for lingerie-inspired details, created transparent slip dresses in gauzy ruched tulle and peachy pink lace, revealing high-waisted knickers beneath. Fendi’s Kim Jones – who referenced two collections designed by former longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld, one from 1986 and one from 2000 – created peekaboo slip dresses festooned with delicate frills, while Erdem’s softly rumpled déshabillé interpretation featured floral beading and pleated details, evoking ensembles worn by Berlin’s creative class in the 1930s. Jil Sander and Saint Laurent’s proposed palate-cleansing colours? Nighttime slips in tones of ivory, white and cream.
If you’re keen to ensure sweet style dreams, not only during Vogue.co.uk’s Sleep Week 2022, but as we approach the autumn/winter 2022 season, then start by sporting a silk slip for self-care at home, or to encourage a luxurious lie-in. Then switch up the silhouette out on the streets, by pairing it with a leather jacket, knee-high boots and a skinny scarf.
