i'm gonna post about their s/s 2015 collection soon, but i also wanted to bring up their resort pieces, just because it flows in very nicely to their s/s work. i also want to point out that—consistent with their vision of establishing "wardrobe building blocks" and collections that are easily mixed and matched across seasons—they also have an incredible consistency in how their lookbooks are shot. i personally find it very lovely and serene.

they're calling this pattern a "thatch jacquard". it's super reminiscent of basket-weaving, and what with their clean lines and largely-geometric patterns, it's a nice design that brings a bit of warmth and familiarity to their collection. a lot of what they post on tumblr is beautiful crafts and handiwork from various artists. i don't know if i'm reading a bit too much into it, but i love how they navigate this space of modernity that is still very influenced by craftsmanship and traditional making.
the top on the right is the "". there's a version without the front slit in the neckline and a little keyhole opening in the back called the "" (idk why they switch between bi-layer and bi-level). worth noting because it's one of their mainstay pieces (potentially comparable to how the bedford is an iconic engineered garments piece?) and a frequently duped item, at that. they've had this top style for a few seasons now, and i'm pretty sure that after they released it, about 100 other womenswear brands made something similar.

this pattern is everything. i love geometric patterns and the colors they chose work so beautifully together. i haven't really seen it on sale
anywhere, much to my dismay, except for the trunk show. holding out hope that apiece apart has just been a bit slow about putting pieces with this pattern on their webshop.

the right dress is notable because of the lush and thick rope tie. they've explored rope waist ties before (check out the and the from previous seasons). i really appreciate that they've carried this motif through. the rope ties work beautifully as this very natural and almost simplistic detail against the clean lines of most of their pieces.
