The bandage dress that Herve Leger sprang on the world back in 1989 remains the ideal dress to highlight the feminine form. Clearly the Cleo dress from Cachet, though vastly different, has its roots in that iconic dress. Like the bandage dress that used the weaving of dyed bandages to create the sexiest, most form-fitting dresses on the runways, the Cleo’s bodice shows the intricate weaving of bandage strips that cling and cling and cling – revealing everything and nothing. To me, it’s the sexiest dress on the grid.
When I first took this dress from Digit Darkes out of the box, it made me think of stars twinkling among the scudding clouds ona moonlit night. The sky is seldom black when the moon and clouds are out, clear nights give you black skies, but those cloudy nights the sky can be the color of pewter. So, I designed to shoot this dress in the clouds – which is the material Digit must have used to spin this dress – it floats like a cloud.
