A striking piece from David Pond Design Ltd, a New Zealand designer known for creating wearable, artistic garments with a strong focus on layering and texture.

This sleeveless tunic-style piece sits somewhere between a vest, gilet, and dress, making it incredibly versatile. It features a softly draped silhouette with sheer layered panels that catch the light, revealing a subtle silver shimmer through the black fabric.

True to David Pond’s design style, the garment plays with movement and transparency — giving it that slightly avant-garde, contemporary feel without being over the top. It’s the kind of piece that works just as well layered over basics for everyday wear, or styled up for something a bit more statement.
