Three DSQUARED2 dresses crossed my desk recently, all hemmed to hit at the knee and all tailored to flatter the female form (nipped at the waist, sheath-like at the skirt). They reminded me why I’m not really a mini kind of girl. Demure but not staid, a knee-length dress cut just so has an easy elegance, and the silhouette is right in line with fall’s return to sophistication. From Black Halo to Vena Cava to Diane von Furstenberg (of course), designers are offering up some seriously smart frocks.
How to find the right one for you? Try out a few different lengths—above the knee, at the knee, and just below the knee—to figure out which is most flattering on your body. I’ve found dresses that hit just above or at the middle of the kneecap fit me best. Anything longer, and I look about 5 inches shorter than I am.
When you find the length that works for you, I’d love to hear about it!

This spring, SSENSE is introducing designers Alexandre Herchcovitch, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens Drkshdw, Twenty8Twelve, Milly, Current/Elliot and Kris Van Assche to their boutique, which already includes labels like Acne, Ksubi, Robert Rodriguez, Clu and Black Halo. This, along with the re-launch of their flagship boutique, puts SSENSE in high demand.
Opening in April 2009, on the corner of famous St. Paul street in Montreal’s historic Old Port, the two-story boutique boasts over 80ft of window display space showcasing fashion’s most exclusive design labels. The store’s interior, dominated by black brushed metal and glass, is a modern update to the boutique’s antiquated facade. On the main floor, luxury designers Alexander Herchcovitch, Maison Martin Margiela and Rick Owens will be paired with artistic, avant-garde brands. A steel and marble staircase leads underground to the second floor, where labels like OAK, Current/Elliot and Acne can be found.
This addition to the already well-styled website, ssense.com, will add a bit of punch to its merchandising mix. A boutique that carries Herchcovitch, Margiela and Owens in the same space almost makes me wish I was Canadian, almost.
