Silk Laundry is the go-to brand for sleek, comfortable, polished essentials that segue easily from day to night
A refined nod to Silk Laundry’s origins, the 1996 Dress returns in celebration of the Lunar New Year 2026; the Year of the Horse, a symbol of freedom, vitality, and forward motion.
Crafted from pure silk, it’s cut on the bias to contour the body with effortless drape and fluidity. The minimalist silhouette is elevated by a bold red sun motif featuring galloping horses, an emblem of strength and renewal, set against a deep black base.
Complete with adjustable straps, a low scoop neckline, and a side tie detail, this dress moves with you, embodying the grace and energy that define both the horse and the Silk Laundry woman.
