A new imagining of Nicol & Ford’s signature backless bias gown evoking a bright night sky full of shooting stars. The COMET bias mini dress is constructed in an extraordinary lightweight silk devore with white and silver metal patternation throughout a bold design. Hand draped on the mannequin in our studio, the cowled bias falls to a swathe of fabric across the hips, creating layered coverage across the body. A dramatic low back and signature ”bum cowl” to the rear are suspended with clear nylon string to appear as thought the dress is floating on the body.Shown as Look 12 in Nicol & Ford’s Comet runway for Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2023.Zelia (bust 34", waist 26", hips 38") wears a size 8Made to order in Newtown, Sydney (Gadigal land) from sustainably sourced, designer remnant reclaimed fabric.
