The print that started it all. Now in a dress that wears two ways.
The Dolce Vita print is Favette's most storied signature — beige and black, graphic and warm, instantly recognisable as the visual language the brand was built around. On this silk mini dress, it finds its most versatile expression yet.
Cut from 100% Como mulberry silk with the same composed construction as the original — concealed button placket, long fitted sleeves, silk belt at the waist — this dress wears as a dress and as a shirt with equal authority. As a dress, the Dolce Vita print carries the full weight of the silhouette. As a shirt, worn open over tailored black trousers or a pencil skirt, it becomes the centrepiece of an outfit that requires nothing more.
Beige and black because some combinations are not trends. They are decisions.
WHY COMO MULBERRY SILK
Lake Como has been the heart of Italian silk production for over five centuries. The mulberry silk we use carries a natural luminosity and a fluid drape that improves with every careful wash. In the Dolce Vita print, the precision of the Como weave gives the graphic motif a sharpness and a depth that would be impossible in any other fabric. It is not simply a material. It is a provenance.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
"The Dolce Vita print was the first thing I designed for Favette that felt completely like us. Beige and black — graphic, warm, unapologetic. Putting it on this dress felt like a homecoming. This is the version I would choose first, every time."
