RESORT 2026

NEO-ROMANTIC


ABOUT THE COLLECTION

Inspired by the Belle Époque influenced drawings of Christian Bérard and his painterly color palettes, We created mixed patterns and prints in shades of Mauve accented with Seafoam and Custard. Flowing silhouettes—zig-zag and stripe knits layered and combo prints of Medallion Florals and Rosebud Striped Wallpaper prints come together to shape prairie dresses, peplum tops, and petticoat skirt.


With the intensity of aniline-dyed Jade and Garnet set the tone for the Stripe Ombré Cameo print with black lingerie lace trims. Butterfly Ombré chiffon and Fortuny-pleated pieces bring fluidity. A Jade green Glen plaid paired with an etched rose jacquard sweater vest adds a dash of boyish tailoring.


The stunning portraits by Sargent at the Two Sargents exhibitions—held at the MFA Boston, Tate, and The Met’s Sargent in Paris—highlight his mastery of painting clothing and textiles. The romanticism in his work, the lace, and the exquisite detailing of the gowns and beautiful women are truly transformative. His black and cream palette inspired our Lily of the Valley, Sketched Roses, and Ribbon Handkerchief prints on mesh and chiffon. These are paired with layered laces, including a delicate 3D Lily of the Valley lace, featured in blouses, camisoles, petticoat skirts, bed jackets, and nightgown dresses.


The camisole and cardigan knitwear are inspired by Victorian silhouettes in black and cream.


Jewelry by Classic Hardware features rosebud chokers, necklaces, matching rings, and bracelets in ivory and rose.


Custom-colored clogs by John Fluevog complement the collection.


Accessories include a Satin Lion bag with faux fur and yarn accents, and a Crochet crossbody bag adorned with a Mini Pony charm in a matching print.
