Cult Gaia's Emi Dress in Off White is a feathered high-low gown that embodies opulence. Whether worn to a night out or as an alternative to the traditional bridal gown, this dress makes a bold statement thanks to its textured aesthetic.
The dress is crafted from rayon and ostrich feather materials and speaks to Cult Gaia's effortlessly elegant signature aesthetic. The online fashion retailer is best known for its sculptural handbag accessories -- first gaining attention for its iconic Ark bag, featuring a caged design that has been recreated in wood and colorful acrylic varieties.
Cult Gaia's apparel range also mimics its accessories' sculptural and sophisticated details, blending flattering silhouettes, bold hems and rich textiles like silks and feathers.
