THE NEXT COLLECTION
Just a sneak peek....
We shot the collection with Chloe on Monday but won’t be releasing the images until the review appears on Vogue.com next week. We shared the inspiration behind this collection a few weeks ago—you can read about it here. But now, after receiving and styling the pieces, we have a few more thoughts…..
I’m surprised at how good it looks. For some reason, I expected it to look and feel more simple. I was actually worried that it would look too “basic” (we should do a post on that word—basic). It didn’t seem kooky enough to align with what we usually do.
And surprise, surprise (though not to Daniel), I was very happy with how it all turned out. The whole collection just looks so elegant. It’s absolutely perfect for what we’re doing this season: glamorous travelers, always on the move with a Rimowa in hand. I think the cover photo above really captures it all.
What’s interesting is how precise it is— perhaps too precise. We shot every look just like the sketches: 15 sketches, 15 looks, each styled precisely as I depicted in the sketch. I’ve never done that before.
Actually, now that I think about it, the collection reads more like a performance art piece—designed specifically for peacocking at Nammos Mykonos, where, hopefully, it will be sold next year.
For me, the collection has a real softness—both in fabrication and silhouette, which feels like our response, or perhaps antidote, to a world on fire.
Each look is composed entirely of the same fabric—the trousers, shirt, dress, and jackets—all made from the same material. Yet, when worn together, the look carries a fierce quality while maintaining a sense of softness and lightness.
Every piece is one of one. We didn’t produce any extras—just the 36 pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re gone….. and we’ve already sold a few pieces to some eager customers before the official launch.
