Zara just launched a liquid metal silver slip dress and its a major 90s Kate Moss mood

Zara is no stranger to creating a cult dress. Remember *that* polka dot midi? And who could forget the pink smocked maxi? And, more recently, TikTok’s favourite pastel pink satin slip (which was so popular it was rereleased in a soft lilac a few weeks later)? 

Every summer the brand releases one piece of sartorial dynamite that the fashion crowd just cannot resist, and we don’t mean to alarm anyone but we think we may have just discovered a late contender for summer 2022’s entry. 

Much like its toughest competition ‘the TikTok dress’, this one is also a slip. But rather than a cute, Gen Z-approved pastel hue, this new slip dress is a super sexy silver number so metallic that it takes on an almost liquid metal look.

For those with their finger on the fashion pulse, such a piece almost inevitably conjures up images of a young Kate Moss. The certified fashion icon has always had a penchant for a good slip dress, but it was a very specific, semi-sheer silver slip worn by Kate in 1993 which cemented her position as fashion’s favourite new muse. 

Incredibly, it was recently confirmed to Vogue, Kate had never intended for the dress to cause such a stir. “It was the first time I really got papped. I had no idea why everyone was so excited – in the darkness of Corinne [Day]’s Soho flat the dress was not see-through!”

Not her only major silver slip look, six years later she appeared on the catwalk for a fashion show hosted by De Beers and Versace wearing a chainmail-inspired iteration, before pulling out another glitzy silver gown at a fashion party in 2005.
