Lou Dallas Crop Top

Lou Dallas built its reputation in the mid-2010s as New York’s most offbeat cult label, part costume, part craft, part critique of consumer culture. Early collections, stitched from scraps and eccentric textiles, established a vocabulary of bricolage glamour that blurred the line between performance and fashion.

This cropped bolero top is believed to be from Spring/Summer 2017 Season, one of Lou Dallas’ earliest seasons. With its puffed green sleeves, square open back, and contrasting velvet-brown front panels, it channels the brand’s instinct for reimagining everyday fabrics into costume-like hybrids. Too playful for tradition, too constructed for whimsy, it captures the fragile theatricality that made Lou Dallas a downtown sensation.
