Why Saemdi is worth it
Saemdi builds its look on draped, sheer mesh dresses with real personality, pieces that make an ordinary day feel like a night out.
The dresses are cut close to the body in stretch mesh, then given something to look at: an off-center hem, a cowl neck, gathers at the hip, a sheer cape or a matching scarf. Around them sit faux-leather jackets and trousers, layered skirts and embroidered or sequined pieces, so a whole outfit can come from one label. The mesh is light and moves with you, which is what makes the fitted shapes easy to wear.

About Saemdi
Saemdi is a female-founded womenswear label based in Paris. Its name is a play on samedi, French for Saturday, and the idea is to carry that end-of-week mood into every other day.
It became known for fitted mesh dresses with draping and asymmetric lines, paired with bolder separates for the women it calls extroverted introverts: quiet until the outfit does the talking.
