Promoting Affordability and Sustainability: Dhaven Touch Starts The New Year with MOBA Dress in Style

By Elvis Kachi

As 2025 begins, Oluwadamilola Adeyinka Shofarasin of Dhaven Touch unveils MOBA, an elegant design. This latest creation ; a sheer, teal-toned lace dress that glimmers subtly in the light  is both arresting and refined. MOBA is designedto embody the brand’s mission of meeting sophistication, affordability and sustainability. Definitely, this piece invites us to reconsider what everyday luxury can look like.

Let’s see if this design from Dhaven Touch is a miss or hit.

The choice of fabric immediately sets the tone. The texture of this black and emerald gree lace, is adorably inviting.The off-shoulder neckline introduces a quiet sensuality, while the relaxed sleeve design creates a balanced harmony between poise and ease. This is for me a kind of intentional curating that women who admire sophistication appreciate.

Affordability in high fashion often comes at the cost of detail or fit, but this design defies that trade-off. Even though the tailoring appears deliberate and flattering, showing a deep understanding of the female form without being over exaggerated. The minimal seam lines certainly maintain a clean visual line, and the mid-length of MOBA hem offers versatility, making it fit for a formal event or a non-formal one such as an evening gathering. Let me ask, isn’t versatility, after all the true mark of wardrobe value?

And then there’s the sustainability story. Lace, when crafted with care and durable fibers, can become a long-term wardrobe staple. The simplicity of this dress’s form means it won’t fall victim to seasonal trends. It is wearable art that ages well. Moreover, the  use of fewer trimmings, minimal embellishment, and a singular fabric choice hints at a mindful and intentional approach to production. Could this be the kind of quiet, thoughtful and aesthetic sustainability we need more of in the design production?

Still, as with every inspired creation, this too leaves  space for modification. The sheer nature of the fabric might benefit from full built-in lining as opposed to the half lining obtainable in the design, particularly to accommodate different body tones and personal modesty preferences. The sleeves shape, althoug it appears fit for this design could however be reconsidered with a slightly more structured cuff or inner proof for those seeking a sleeker and more structured finish. Might these subtle adjustments open the design to a wider range of wearers?

Overall, this piece confirms what we’re beginning to expect from Dhaven Touch; clothes that respect tradition, speak of elegance, and invite the modern woman into a story of thoughtful fashion. With this lace design, Oluwadamilola is curating an experience.
