This dress is a chic study in contrast. Up top, the bodice is made of figure-hugging stretch jersey with a deep-V neckline and a teeny cutout under the bust; below, the ankle-grazing skirt is done in crisp, airy cotton. The ruby hue works just as well for everyday (with a cozy cream knit and boots) as it does for more festive affairs (with statement earrings and a swipe of lipstick).
Running on capsule collections (which the brand calls “editions”) instead of the traditional production calendar, ESSE is founder Charlotte Hicks’s response to fast fashion and overconsumption. The pieces in each edition—sumptuous-feeling, graceful silhouettes—are designed to be mixed and layered with one other, and they’re made to last, so you can build out your collection over time.
