By Malene Birger Marc Mixed Media Dress Deep Lichen Green

Product Insights & Style Tips

The By Malene Birger Marc Mixed Media Dress is a study in contrasts, quietly avant-garde without breaking a sweat. Rendered in deep lichen green, the strapless maxi silhouette plays on modern femininity with a tactile tension: the bodice hugs in a super-stretch jersey, then gives way to a lightweight poplin skirt that moves easy and catches every shift of light. Subtle pleating sets off the skirt for fluid volume, while the top stays clean and sculpted—no closures, no fuss, just an elevated pull-on vibe that feels both undone and intentional. The fabric mix and muted palette are signature Malene Birger restraint, translating Scandi minimalism into something unexpectedly sensual.

This piece adapts to the wearer’s shape, thanks to the sculpting jersey of the bodice that holds close but never restrictive—think subtle, secure support with no tugging required. The poplin skirt drapes in waves, skimming just right at maxi length so movement and air flow are a given. There’s an ease to the way it layers, able to anchor with an oversize blazer, or bare shoulders on its own for a sleek day-to-night turn. No closures mean nothing interrupts the silhouette; the focus stays on shape and feel rather than fastenings. The dress walks the line between statement and staple, ideal for gliding through city galleries or drifting into an open-air dinner—wherever a cool, cultivated take on evening dressing is called for.

By Malene Birger has long championed that offbeat yet wearable Scandinavian mood, and here, the mixed-media construction slots right into current obsessions with texture play and unfussy elegance. Pair with sharp mules or sculptural earrings, and the Marc Dress reads like a masterclass in curated minimalism—effortless, but never basic.
