lemlem Abira plunge-neck dress

Supermodel and activist Liya Kebede started this handcrafted apparel and home collection - named for the Ethiopian word meaning "to bloom or flourish" - and employs local African artisans to create its unique statement pieces. Simple and elegant, the Abira collection features a textured solid and sheer weaving highlighted by delicate, shimmering dots on a bright background. This versatile, long dress features dolman sleeves, a deep plunge neckline and a comfortable elastic waist, creating an hourglass silhouette. The side slit and ruffle hem make this style a perfect day-to-evening dress. Handwoven in Ethiopia, this silhouette is made of soft, hand-spun cotton for a light and comfortable feel.
