Alber Elbaz disliked “clothes that bring more stress to women,” and expressed his preference for dresses that feel “like hugs.” He created the cape-like sleeves of this dress by draping and twisting the fabric of the bodice, embracing the wearer while still maintaining the comfort and ease of movement for which the designer was known.
