WHY IT WORKS

The white leather of the Adidas Japan echoes the dress's white ground. The gum sole provides warmth. The slim profile doesn't compete with the skirt's volume. This is the most effortless version of the McQueen dress — it removes all formality and makes a sculptural statement piece wearable for everyday. The denim jacket reinforces the casual register if needed.

THE TENSION

Architectural dress vs. heritage runner; dress stays as statement, shoe makes it accessible
