THE PRINT
Pholiota
Pholiota wears a rough, scaly surface, its caps a warm tawny brown in the wild. Here the print trades that warmth for dusty blue and charcoal, the texture kept but the colour turned cool.

THE COLOUR
Base: Warm Ivory
Print: Dusty blue, charcoal
Sash: Mint, dark brown, dark green, powder pink, dusty blue

THE STORY
Reckless Ericka's Trench Knee Dress in Pholiota, from the UNDERSTORY collection, borrows the codes of a trench coat and pares them down into an ivory A-line dress. The recycled microfibre has a soft rayon-like hand, shaped with a relaxed notch collar, one inner button and four front buttons, short sleeves and a back yoke with a box pleat. A detachable sash draws in the waist, while Pholiota spreads in dusty blue and charcoal across the lower front and skirt. The print's rough, scaly texture survives the colour change, dense where the caps cluster and thinning out toward the hem.

For Work
Button it neatly, tie the sash once at the waist and add black Mary Janes or a low loafer with a structured bag. Let the cobalt placement carry the colour.

For Night Out
Swap the day shoe for a cobalt or metallic heel and add a sculptural earring. Leave the collar slightly open so the V frames the neckline.

For Weekends
Wear unbuttoned over a white tank and our Tuxedo Shorts or straight leg jeans with flat leather sandals and a woven or soft leather tote. The wide A-line works well with minimal jewellery and an unstructured bag.
