Stand out in silver with Gigi's Calvin Klein dress

Silver takes first place this season as metallics continue to be a huge trend for S/S 2018. Look no further than Gigi Hadid on the cover of Vogue Australia who stunned in this futuristic metallic dress by Calvin Klein 205W39NYC.

Her dress was made of wrinkled foil-like leather embellished with delicate white lace along the neckline for a sartorial clash between futuristic and Victoriana.

Of course, this is a feat that only the geniuses at Calvin Klein's newly revived ready-to-wear collection could accomplish. And while we'll have to wait till Fall before we can shop this exact piece, we CAN explore the current items up for grabs over at MATCHESFASHION. (Click right).

'I know I come from privilege, so when I started there was this big guilt of privilege, obviously,' Gigi tells the publication.

'I've always had this big work ethic, because my parents came from nothing and I worked hard to honour them.' 

The blonde beauty says she felt a lot of pressure to work hard because so many models chose their career to help their less fortunate families.

'There are so many girls who come [from] all over the world and work their a***s off and send money home to their families like my mother did, and I wanted to stand next to them backstage and for them to look at me and respect me and to know that it's never about me trying to overshadow or take their place,' she adds.

In an accompanying photo shoot, the exotic beauty simply stuns in a white lace dress and white leather gloves.
