Product Insights & Style Tips

The KNWLS Black & Off-White Tess Midi Dress reimagines ethereal romance with a modern edge. Rendered in gauzy viscose chiffon, it flows like a whisper across the skin. The check pattern introduces a graphic element, while the asymmetrical cowl neck adds an avant-garde twist. Finished with a handkerchief hem, the silhouette exudes an untamed elegance that's captivating and fluid.

This dress effortlessly skims the curves, offering a relaxed fit that moves beautifully with the body. The button straps at the neckline provide an adjustable nod to bespoke craftsmanship, while the handkerchief hem creates a dynamic sense of motion. Layer over a sleek turtleneck or let it stand alone for a night of artful intrigue. It shifts seamlessly from gallery openings to intimate dinners, maintaining a poised silhouette throughout.

Rooted in KNWLS’ edgy aesthetic, the Tess Midi Dress speaks to those who relish boundary-pushing style. Known for their bold, innovative designs, KNWLS crafts pieces that are both romantic and visceral, resonating with the current trend of mixing delicate fabrics with striking patterns. Style it with chunky boots for a play on contrasts or strappy sandals for a softer, breezy look.

KNWLS Fall 2026 Collection Reworks Victorian Corsetry and Leather

KNWLS presents its Fall 2026 collection highlighting Victorian inspired silhouettes through corsetry, leather, and disrupted dresses. The London based label shifts away from a traditional runway this season, staging the collection inside an immersive pop up environment that brings the clothes closer to its audience.

Miss Sixty Joins Forces with KNWLS Redefining Y2K Cool

The capsule from MISS SIXTY and KNWLS takes early-2000s energy—low-rise denim, bold embellishment, a wink of irreverence—and recasts it through a sharper, more elevated lens. MISS SIXTY, founded in 1991, built its DNA around women’s denim first and glamorous fits later. KNWLS, the London-based label by Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault, is known for corsetry and structure, and here that voice blends with denim heritage. The result isn’t nostalgia for its own sake. It’s a reinterpretation of a moment in fashion history, repackaged for now. Styling clues point directly to the Y2K revival: miniskirts, washed denim patches, exposed hardware and exaggerated belts. The imagery embraces the era but with modern structure—KNWLS’s signature waist emphasis and mixed-fabric treatments become the voice here.

KNWLS Channels Rebellious Femininity For Fall Winter 2025

KNWLS leans into controlled chaos for Fall Winter 2025, delivering a collection that’s part rock energy, part refined rebellion. The London-based label from Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault continues to master the art of subversive femininity with silhouettes that walk the line between armor and allure. The mood is unapologetically confident. Corsetry meets moto shapes, leather trenches swing open over lace tops, and layered knits trace the body with deliberate imperfection. It’s raw and seductive, with the unmistakable attitude that has made KNWLS one of the defining names in London’s modern scene.
