Since starting her Madrid-based company in 1981, Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada has become known for her use of bright colors and unusual volumetric shapes. Exaggerations of size and proportion are hallmarks of “maximalist” fashion, expressed here by an oversized bow. The hand-painted polka dots on this dress deliver an additional layer of whimsy and visual appeal.
