Saloni Dresses: Printed Silk Gowns and Maxi Dresses

Printed Dresses, Proper Joy

Saloni Lodha founded her label in 2008 after growing up in India, studying in Mumbai and seeing a gap in Hong Kong for modern clothes that kept a connection to traditional Indian textiles. The dresses here translate that idea into silk chiffon, organza, satin and poplin, with prints that are lively but not trapped in a single season. The useful distinction is between the gowns that want an entrance and the midi shapes that can handle a day with a change of shoes. I went deeper on a related idea in Maxi Dresses: Column Slips, Floral Chiffons and Statement Gowns. I went deeper on a related idea in Midi Dresses: Zimmermann, Silk, Knit and Printed Picks.

Our honest take

Our honest take: Saloni is at its best when the print and the cut are allowed to disagree slightly. A ruffle, an asymmetric waist or a generous sleeve keeps the floral and polka-dot language from becoming too sweet. If you take one thing away, wear the dress with the least amount of styling you can manage, because the fabric already has a point of view. If you want to keep reading, Printed Maxi And Mini Dresses is a good next stop.
