The Espresso Artline Maxi Dress – Runway Edition by Sandra Rives

EDITOR’S NOTE

A runway-presented silhouette showcasing refined craftsmanship and modern modest expression.

Unveiled at Miami Modest Fashion Week, this two-tone masterpiece by Sandra Rives reflects her signature balance of art, structure, and cultural storytelling. The upper bodice, crafted in fluid viscose-crepe, features espresso-brown hand-drawn motifs created in partnership with a celebrated Indigenous Australian artist — a continuation of Sandra’s creative journey shaped through collaborations with the original co-founder of Jimmy Choo, Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat.

Anchored by a deep chocolate sateen skirt, the silhouette marries softness with architectural precision. Quiet yet assured, it embodies Sandra Rives’s design ethos: modern modesty shaped through refined contrasts, cultural depth, and timeless form.

DESCRIPTION

A refined runway piece merging contemporary tailoring with artisanal expression. The contrast waist panel, elongated lines, and fluid upper bodice create a relaxed yet elevated profile, while the rich chocolate-sateen skirt provides subtle structure and sheen. Hand-drawn motifs on the bodice — created by an Indigenous Australian artist — ensure each garment carries its own unique expression. This is cultural luxury rendered in a modern, modest silhouette.
