The Maxi Dress Renaissance: An Indispensable Item in Modern Fashion
The maxi dress continues to prove its timeless appeal, offering a blend of elegance, comfort, and self-expression. Known for its flowing lines and versatility, the maxi dress embodies freedom of movement, femininity, and individuality — qualities that resonate across decades and cultures.
A Dress with History and Modern Relevance
Rising to prominence in the late 1960s and 70s, the maxi dress challenged restrictive silhouettes and introduced ease and fluidity into women’s wardrobes. Today, designers revisit the form with bold prints, contemporary cuts, and adaptable styling, ensuring the maxi dress remains both timeless and current.
Its versatility allows wearers to transition effortlessly from a city commute to outdoor events, styled with boots, sandals, or layered for fluctuating weather. The maxi dress is no longer just seasonal — it is a year-round staple that transcends trends.
Tessa Koops: Championing Individuality Through Design
Among the designers redefining the maxi dress is Dutch designer Tessa Koops, celebrated for her expressive prints and feminine silhouettes. Working from her boutique and showroom in Amsterdam’s Herenstraat, Koops crafts her pieces hands-on, relying on instinct rather than sketches. “I design by feel,” she says.
Her creative process begins with fabric and print, often sourced from European print houses or created in-house, then adapted to her signature style. Flowing dresses, puff-sleeved blouses, and flared trousers nod to the 1970s — a period Koops sees as both nostalgic and bold.
Timeless Designs That Move Forward
Koops emphasizes that clothing influences mood and interaction. The maxi dress remains central to her vision: versatile, expressive, and built for women who dress with intention. As her brand expands internationally, she continues to explore individuality across cultures while maintaining playful and character-driven designs.
“Playfulness gives you character, and it can keep surprising you,” Koops notes — a sentiment echoed in every flowing silhouette of her FW25 collection
