This unlined dress with buttoned shawl collar is all about comfort. It starts with the material: Lanius makes it from skin-friendly, certified organic cotton, plus a small amount of elastane for more elasticity and shape retention. And in terms of cut, the dress is also comfortable through and through. An elastic band at waist level ensures a good and comfortable fit. For even more freedom of movement, the dress is slit at the back. Two invisible pockets set into the side seam hold small items for everyday use.

The work of fashion label Lanius is influenced by three factors: first, a style characterised by sophisticated designs and forms, secondly the use of certified raw materials and thirdly the guarantee that all garments have been produced under fair working conditions. Depending on the garment, one factor may get centre stage, but the other factors don’t move out of the focus – however, importance is always attached to outstanding quality both in terms of materials and finish. The label was founded in 1999 by Claudia Lanius, who works on all her ideas and designs in her Cologne studio; she has them developed by her team and then assembled by producers in several countries.
