Fausto Puglisi Color Blocked A-Line Dress

This Fausto Puglisi Sunray Pleated Dress is a striking study in contrast, combining a structured ivory and black bodice with a dramatically flared skirt defined by intricate asymmetric sunray pleating. The upper body is cut with a high crew neckline and contrasting black shoulder panels, while a wide, fitted black waistband sharply defines the waist.

The defining feature is the pleated skirt, where contrasting black and cream/ivory panels radiate outward in crisp sunray pleats. The combination of geometric color blocking and fluid pleating creates a dynamic silhouette that shifts between architectural structure and movement.

Crafted from a luxurious multi-fabric construction, the dress pairs substantial cady crepe through the bodice and waistband with finely pleated silk through the skirt. The result is quintessential Fausto Puglisi: highly graphic, body-conscious, and unapologetically glamorous. Puglisi’s use of dramatic pleating and fitted, sculptural silhouettes remains a recognizable part of his broader design language.
