The history of crochet maxi dresses can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s when the bohemian fashion movement was at its peak. Crochet, a technique that involves creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with a hooked needle, became immensely popular during this era. Maxi dresses, characterized by their long, flowing designs, were also in style. The combination of crochet and maxi dresses was a natural evolution, as it was comfortable, airy, and stylish—perfect for the free-spirited vibe of the time. Today, crochet maxi dresses continue to be a timeless fashion choice, as Dakota Johnson just proved.
Photographed at Telluride Film Festival, Johnson wore a Chloé dress that's giving me strong Stevie Nicks vibes. She finished the outfit with a Gucci Jackie bag—named after Jackie Kennedy, another '60s icon—and a Jessica McCormack necklace.
