Daisy Lowe attended the International Herald Tribune Heritage Luxury Conference yesterday in London wearing a black leather strapless dress from the fall collection by Christian Dior. Marion Cotillard has also worn this design, last month for the Les Petits Mouchoirs premiere in Paris.

I didn’t like this dress when I saw it on the runway, on Marion Cotillard or on Daisy Lowe. With leather dresses less is generally more, minimalist shapes and simple lines work best or the look can easily stray into costume/sex shop territory.  If I had to pick who wore it better, it would have to be Daisy…… at least the black blazer covers some of it.
