A dress, and the knit over it

Four dresses cut for movement, four pullovers worked to hold their width, and every piece in the rail answers at least two others.

ADRIAN-ALEXANDRU IONESCU — how the pieces are made

A dress is decided at the waistband

A dress either sits at the waist or it does not, and no amount of styling repairs the difference. Every shirred panel in the collection is worn for a full working day before approval, and every elastic waist is checked for recovery after the first wash. Plaid is cut so the check runs continuously across the side seam and the zip rather than meeting by accident at the hip, and every hem is measured against the shoe it will be worn with. The knitwear is worked in a gauge that keeps its width through a season, then washed twice and measured flat, because a stripe that stretches into a different pattern by February is a pattern error, not a wearer error.

The house line

Eight pieces, one warm range

The collection stays small on purpose: four dresses and four knits cut in the same earth and clay range, so a knit bought in October still answers a dress bought in May. No filler, no second colourway to choose from.

Checked before it reaches the rail

Waistbands worn a full day

Shirred panels and elastic waists are tested through a working day, so the dress sits at the waist instead of sliding below it.

Check matched at the seam

Plaid panels are cut so the check runs continuously across the side seam and the zip rather than breaking at the hip.
