Silver satin can so easily go full mirrorball, but this Thien Dung ensemble takes the sharper road. The long tunic and trouser pairing follows the Vietnamese áo dài silhouette, with a stand collar, diagonal side fastening, long sleeves, deep side splits and matching satin trousers beneath.

The colour sits somewhere between dove and silver moonlight, which makes it a stunning statement. Style it for event dressing with sculptural earrings, a lacquer-red lip, or a small cobalt clutch if you like a clean colour clash.

A striking piece of authentic vintage clothing edging to jsut before the fast fashion era, with the kind of cultural dress reference and construction detail that makes true vintage curation so rewarding.
