This Is The Brand To Know For Parisian-Style Party Wear

Looking for a party dress with a cool Parisian-style edge? You need to check out Rat & Boa. We’ve long loved the brand’s grungy, sexy mood for dinner dates, events and beyond. But this season, it’s better than ever, with an edit that epitomises that effortlessly sensual, seductively understated style. Scroll on to shop the Nocturne collection…

In Partnership With Rat & Boa

Slip into something extra special this party season, with London-based brand, Rat & Boa’s epic AW24 collection. Shot on film by Vitali Gelwich against a backdrop of Parisian landmarks like the iconic Hotel Paris and Brasserie Lipp, the collection was made for hedonistic nights and parties that will go down in history.

There are oversized sequins that could hold their own on the dancefloor of Studio 54, pavement grazing hemlines juxtaposed with thigh-high slits, dramatic cloak-like shapes and unashamedly sexy, feminine cuts. These are dresses for anything but wallflowers and are destined to turn heads at all your festive events.

Highlights of the line include the decadent mesh-detail Priscilla dress – slinky with a rock chick edge, it’s dripping in silver sequins from neckline to hem – we’d style it with megawatt earrings and ’70s-inspired platforms. Or, for something a little more demure but still with a nod to provocation, there’s the dreamy Octavia Dress. A form-fitting, long-sleeved column dress in vintage green. Wear with dripping gold jewellery, a velvet bag and barely-there heels.

AW24 is a collection born out of friendship, duality, and a sense of being different but together. It’s a collection and a mood that’s meant to be experienced, not just worn. Expect bold sensuality, understated mystery, confidence, freedom and fun.
