French sensibility and an exploration of the dance between masculine and feminine tropes have made Alexis Mabille's designs popular when events call for sheer elegance. The Kurkova gown is the ultimate expression of that philosophy by taking the shirt silhouette to its most grandiose form, courtesy of an internal corset and a pair of sleeves, offering both short and long styling options. The Tailors at Harrods are available for bespoke alterations in-store or at home (within two miles of our Knightsbridge store).
