I Love Dresses—This Is Hands Down My New Favourite Brand

Thanks to Diane von Furstenberg, wrap dresses have long been considered the ultimate "throw on and go" outfit. They might be flattering, but they have a habit of acting up within seconds of you walking out the door. I've had too many experiences of wrap dresses literally unwrapping, so I swore I'd never go near a wrap dress again. Then I saw the brand Art Dealer, and I was willing to give the style another chance. Founder of the brand Carolina Cerutti turned her love of vintage into a dress-focused contemporary brand that creates timeless and oh-so-pretty midis.

The Sophia silk wrap dress comes in sherbert shades, such as a sugary lemon, a soft mint and a vibrant raspberry. If pastels aren't your thing, the most elegant iteration is certainly the wrap that is black on one side and champagnes silk on the other. Art Dealer also created lots of skirt-and-blouse co-ords that have a feeling of Gwyneth Paltrow in the '90s. The brand might be a new recruit of Net-a-Porter, but the following is quite impressive, as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Elsa Hosk and Romee Strijd have all worn the silky midis. Keep scrolling to see how the fashion crowd is wearing the next big Instagram brand.
