Description
The Floral Embroidery V-Neck Dress from Mame Kurogouchi’s 2024 Fall/Winter Collection is made using sustainable and eco-friendly materials, with recycled plastic bottles for the warp and recycled polyester fibers for the weft. Although the fabric is eco-friendly, it feels as soft as natural fibers. The front is adorned with bold floral embroidery inspired by traditional “Karatsu” pottery, adding an elegant touch to the minimalist shirt fabric. The relaxed silhouette, deep V-neck, and mid-length sleeves give the dress a sensual yet refined look. Slits on both sides of the hem allow for ease of movement, making this dress versatile for both casual and elegant styles, whether worn alone or paired with pants.
The Mame Kurogouchi 2024 Fall/Winter collection, titled “Fragments,” continues the theme from the previous season by exploring the 16th-century Old Karatsu ceramics* of Saga Prefecture*. Designer Maiko Kurogouchi weaves the natural colors, rich textures, and unique patterns of Karatsu ware into the concept of “wearable ceramics,” symbolizing a journey through time.
