About POEM
What is in the POEM collection
Long dresses are the core. The Sieste Hooded Maxi Dress by POEM is an A-line maxi with a sculptural hood, cape sleeves and hand-applied beads. The Ondine Bead Maxi Dress is a beaded sheath with a round neck. For high necklines, there are the Cascade Mock Neck Maxi Dress, the Thalora Turtle Neck Draped Maxi Dress and the Lucentia High Neck Gathering Maxi Dress. Floor length gowns include the Nyx Sheath Halter Neck Silk Floor Length Dress and the Hyperion Hourglass Asymmetric Sleeved Jersey Floor Length Dress.
Beyond dresses, the Aile Bell Sleeve Trench Coat and the Sanctum V-Neck Button Trench Coat are light coats that layer over the gowns. The Velora Straight Backless Crepe Maxi Jumpsuit is the one-piece alternative, and the Aether Straight Wide Leg Satin Floor Length Trousers pair with the Aether Cropped Collared Neck Taffeta Top as a two-piece evening look.
About the label
POEM has been nurtured over a decade. The house describes each collection as a poem of its own and sums up its approach in one line: "POEM doesn't run on the runway, POEM flows beneath it." It avoids over-explaining its designs and relies on fabric treatment and the depth of each cut for a discreet, understated customer.
When to wear POEM
The beaded and draped maxi dresses are made for galas, weddings and formal dinners; browse more in women's gowns and couture dresses and evening gowns. The mock neck, turtle neck and high neck maxis are a natural fit for customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait who want full coverage without losing shape, and the Ramadan modest edit collects similar long, sleeved styles for the holy month. US and Australian customers wear the jersey gowns to black tie events and the trench coats as evening cover-ups. The hooded and cape sleeved Sieste dress sits with other cape sleeve dresses.
Which POEM dress is best for a black tie event?
The Ondine Bead Maxi Dress and the Nyx silk floor length dress are the most formal. If you want movement, the Hyperion jersey gown with its asymmetric sleeve drapes well when you walk. Add the Thalassa Sheer Gloves for an evening finish.
Does POEM offer covered styles?
Yes. The Cascade Mock Neck, Thalora Turtle Neck and Lucentia High Neck maxi dresses all cover the neck and arms. The Sieste dress adds a hood. These styles are often chosen for Eid dinners and family celebrations; the modest edit shows them next to other labels.
