Black satin, sculptural volume, strapless neckline, gathered and draped throughout — the Desirée Iyama Pansy Dress is unlike anything else in this catalogue.

Desirée Iyama is a Nigerian-born fashion designer whose architectural, handcrafted pieces sit at the intersection of African craftsmanship and high-fashion couture. The Pansy Midi Dress is exactly that: a sculptural strapless silhouette in luxurious black satin with a subtle sheen, gathered and draped detailing that creates extraordinary dynamic movement, and a voluminous midi skirt that commands space. This is a dress for the woman who wants to walk into a room and have it immediately understood that she knows exactly what she is doing. Ethically handcrafted in Lagos, Nigeria, and available to rent exclusively at Style Rotate SA.
