Celebrating confidence and femininity, this collection takes inspiration from life by the sea. Particularly, the allure of the 70’s silhouettes and the effortlessly sexy feel in seaside towns along the Cote d’Azur. Influence was also drawn from Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings and the escapist quality to them, as well as the beautiful color combinations.

Found throughout the collection are hand drawn airy florals, weightless dresses, tailoring and laces displaying a natural ease synonymous with life by the sea. With a spectrum of vibrant fuchsia, pinks, ivory, light khaki with a hint of lilac the collection conjures thoughts of summer.

Hand woven floral jacquards and denims bring structure to the collection and offer an alternative to the light summery dresses. The attention to detail adds value to the garments.

The garments are functional and elegant, and offer a new perspective to summer dressing.
