The collection showcases looks that move as easily as you do, transitioning seamlessly from sun-soaked pool parties to late-night dance floors, with an effortless “cool Phoebe Philo” vibe, according to stylist Ana Tess.
Whether you’re a card-carrying member of a posh beach club or simply channeling that vibe, summer dressing goes full throttle on color and print.
Styling the Season
Ana Tess emphasizes fluid transitions by pairing a Zimmermann swimsuit with a The Frankie Shop skirt and Jimmy Choo heels. She then adds Fry Powers studs and a Susana Vega ear cuff to complete the polished finish.
Fry Powers rings accompany the studs, adding a coordinated metallic gleam that reinforces the polished finish.
Makeup artist Alexis De La Isla aims for a sun-kissed glow, describing the ideal appearance as “smudged liner, a sunburnt rosy flush, that just-left-the-beach sheen.” Her technique favors radiant skin, defined lashes, and a subtle highlight that catches light naturally.
De La Isla cites a ’90s beauty campaign as the inspiration for the tonal look, favoring monochromatic makeup that feels both sleek and classic.

Beauty entrepreneur Danessa Myricks notes she often uses Colorfix on lashes because it is waterproof, and she relies on Maybelline mascara for reliable coverage.
Hair stylist Anike Rabiu suggests an undone, beachy texture, advising clients to enhance natural waves rather than fight the elements.
The collection leans into bold color and pattern, with Ana Tess directing models toward mini dresses, sheer layers, or prints from Pucci and Missoni for a maximalist feel.
One look features a white Tibi dress paired with a mesh Jane Wade overlay, complemented by Alexandre Birman shoes and Odissea earrings, illustrating the blend of classic silhouette and modern shine.
For office attire, Tess suggests a sea-soaked update, reimagining the office siren as an office mermaid by layering playful textures, sequins, feathers, flashes of metal, over everyday staples such as a classic white tee, a crochet sarong, crystal-embellished heels, and a structured blazer.
Hair for the workday stays low-maintenance; Anike Rabiu recommends a strong-hold gel such as TRESemmé Instant Fix Styling Stick to achieve a quick slick-back, suitable for both cropped cuts and longer styles.
