The Find: Futuristic Dresses

Spring fashion looks forward this year, with dresses sculpted into geometric shapes, carved from metallic fabrics, and skewed into asymmetrical silhouettes. Our shopper hunted for experimental dresses you can wear in the present.


Balenciaga
$2275

Meandering down Balenciaga's sci-fi ramp, I braced myself for racks of cyber-goddess gear. But Nicolas Ghesquière’s Terminator-inspired spring 2007 collection had been so diluted for retail that this black acetate-silk dress was the only futuristic attire around. I appreciated the roomy front pockets with darting seams, and the mesh layer beneath the thin straps was a cute, sporty addition. Those details couldn't make up for poor fit and the rear bustle, which made my backside look two sizes larger. 542 22nd St., nr. Eleventh Ave.; 212-206-0872.
