chinese puzzle.

**I loved this short piece written by Stephanie LaCava on Style.com because I often buy things and am thoroughly confused on what to do next! Check it out! (favorite look? For me, Look #1)**
I’m an expert at wearing a dress the “wrong” way—if such a superlative exists. Flash back four years ago to an American Museum of Natural History benefit: the dress, a black column with an exaggerated bow at the neck; my take, backward. I thought it looked perfect—was intended to be that way—until someone’s offhand comment alerted me to my mistake. Since then, I’ve continued my rogue styling, wearing dresses and skirts sideways, even upside down (another story for another day). Come spring, however, I’m faced with a worthy opponent. Osman Yousefzada’s draped jersey crepe dress is intended to be worn three different ways. There’s no way to rebel. “Mutable dressing” is how Yousefzada describes multiple-look creations like this one, available in white, black, and red. “Ideally my work is about creating silhouettes—and you can put that in jersey. You perfect that, and it takes on a different life and color.” Creating the dress was the hard part—a feat Yousefzada tackled, with marvelous multitasking results. He’s made it easy for us. “When you go out in the evening you don’t want to go home and change. This takes the day to evening to another level,” Yousefzada says. “You can quickly take off your jacket and turn your skirt into a dress—a couple of dresses.”
Perhaps a little instruction is necessary:
Look #1: the long draped skirt. Simply pull on skirt and add desired top. Yousefzada showed his white version with a short, loose white blouse with gold loops woven with white fabric at the shoulders. Here, a white T-shirt topped with brown Balenciaga leather jacket and Fendi’s superhigh platform boots.
Look #2: the strapless dress. Pull up the skirt to morph it into a draped dress. Here, with Prada’s studded black suede sandal—and the seven gold bracelets I never take off.
Look #3: one shoulder dress. Take the outer panel up over your arm to become the final look. Yousefzada envisions this dress with “some strong gold earring and a gold cuff.” Here, over a white Herff Christiansen long-sleeve T-shirt with tan Ann Demeulemeester multistrap wedge sandals, and again the bracelets.
“It will look very different on people; it morphs into their sensibility,” says Yousefzada. There’s no wrong way.
