If your wardrobe is full of “basics” that somehow still feel a little uninspired, dorsaLi is the kind of brand that makes you rethink what essentials can actually be. It’s based in Montréal, but the perspective behind it feels much more global—and that’s kind of the point. I discovered dorsaLi while browsing at Toronto’s semi-annual One Of A Kind Show and two styles immediately caught my attention: the Twisted Basic Dress and the Lexington Shirt.
