THE DOUBLE BRA DRESS, 2021

The big reveal, from left: the double bra dress worn by Dua Lipa and on Zendaya last month

You may not have heard of Nensi Dojaka, but you’ll know her dresses: they’ve been worn by Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Adwoa Aboah and Hailey Bieber to name a few. Originally from Albania, the 28-year-old designer launched her eponymous label in 2017 while still studying at Central Saint Martins; in September, she won the prestigious LVMH Prize, securing €300,000 (around £250,000) and a year’s mentorship with the luxury-goods house. While it’s fair to say her £800 double bra stretch-silk dress requires confidence to wear (its cutaway bodice and gossamer-thin straps reveal a lot of flesh), something about its bold, unapologetic brand of sex appeal has caught the imagination – and after 18 months of lockdown, there’s a hunger for sexy party dresses. Dojaka says she hopes hers convey both softness and strength. Already, retailers are churning out similar designs – a sure indication that the double bra is on its way to classic status.
