PRISCAVera Spring/Summer 2018

September 12, 2017

From the start, designer Prisca Franchetti sought self-defininition in her line. Her French silk slips, hand-sewn with traditional technicality are simple, and stand out for their reinvented respect for European elegance that fuses elements of everyday subculture— old Paris meets 90's pop.

PRISCAVera Spring/Summer offers few foundational adaptations— at the core, we see the slip in classical construction. But the subtlety in incorporation of contemporary inspirations is as innovative as ever. Inspired this season to take the concept of 'self' all the more seriously to design— Franchetti held a mature mirror to modernism.

Taking textures and textiles through time with wool kilts to transparency and T-shirts— a vivid palate full of nuanced 90's neons and playful graphics became grown-up. Chic and cheeky— a collection dually devious as it is delicate.

LOVETT's AW 2025: LA Winter

February 25, 2025

Balancing glamour with rebellion, Carson Lovett fuses history, bohemia, and street culture to create whimsical yet ironically eclectic designs. After a standout debut last July—worn by stars like Charli XCX and Jennie Kim—Lovett has continued to keep us on the edge of our seats. His new AW ‘25 collection, L.A Winter, under his label LOVETT was inspired by the “thrift-centric” essence of all-American fashion, and released earlier this week. Echoing L.A. Winter’s mantra —“A culture preserved is no culture at all”— the collection plays with dissonance, juxtaposing varsity jackets reimagined as skirts and dresses, bandage dresses adorned with playful bows, and sports stripes running from hip to floor. Monogrammed foil clashes with daisy embroideries, peace signs, and irreverent slogans like “BAE,” “LIVE LAUGH LOVETT,” and “I’M NOT GAY, I’M FRENCH.” With its ironic embrace of glamour and out-of-place beauty, LOVETT’s AW ‘25 collection is designed for the city girl who lives multiple lives.
