Colour-led and immediately striking, this Jean Muir dress is cut in a vivid red viscose scattered with an abstract star print in a soft green hue.
The silhouette is deliberately simple, falling in a clean column from shoulder to hem without a defined waist. It’s this restraint that lets the fabric and print do the work. The neckline is gently draped to one side and finished with a self-tie bow, adding a subtle asymmetry that feels both considered and easy.
At the back, Muir’s signature attention to detail comes through in the use of sculptural acrylic buttons fastening at the neckline, a small but telling design touch she returned to throughout her work.
Likely dating to the early 1980s, this is a piece that reflects her ongoing dialogue with fluid dressing — clothes that move with the body rather than shape it.
