This New Label Perfected the Work Dress
, founder of the silk brand Helena Quinn. Their joint venture specializes in dresses for women who want to look polished throughout whatever the day throws at them, with an emphasis on women's economic empowerment threaded into the designs. The dresses are inspired by the relaxed dusters traditionally worn by Filipino women for housework , reimagined with flourishes like structured necklines, bright fabrics, and twisted waist details for women working in various contexts today.
This tie-in is personal for the founders. According to their brand-release story, the designers wanted to make dresses that could handle the demands of their lives as working moms—and give them a break from leggings and sneakers. As a result, the eight dresses in Duster's initial lineup emphasize versatility and comfort.
In my month on the move, I found that the dress I tried did exactly that. Duster’s button-up dress became my everything when I needed it. I darted from picking up cardboard boxes to catching early-bird writing shifts all in the same easy dress, only changing out the footwear from New Balance sneakers to leather sandals for dinner at the end of the day.
Most importantly, this dress was relaxed without feeling overly bucolic or nightgown-ish. The crisp poplin fabric and pointed collar made me feel like myself—polished and put-together on the outside—while everything else that was “me” was bubble wrapped, boxed up, and otherwise inaccessible. Post-move, I hope to have better adjectives to describe myself than “busy.” Whatever tasks I must cross off my checklist or events to attend, I know I can handle them all wearing my new favorite dress. I hardly even mind that the rest of my closet hasn’t been unpacked yet.
