A final nod to summer before we dive into new-season mode. I’ve also been working on something for my paid subscribers - The AW25 Style Reset, landing mid-August, where I’ll take you through what’s resonating for the season ahead, the pieces I’m leaning into, and how to refresh your wardrobe with intention.

A Fresh Take on Prints

For the last few years, prints have been largely absent from my wardrobe. I’ve leaned on texture, neutrals, and contrast - avoiding too much statement. But lately, I’ve found myself reaching for them again. Leopard, stripes, florals, and polka dots are all creeping back into my consciousness. As always, it’s not about the print itself but how you style it.

My starting point? The Khaite Resort 2026 collection. It’s a masterclass in making prints feel cool again - soft, muted tones, luxe fabrics, and unexpected pairings. Even the most romantic florals feel modern because they’re tonal, not loud. The textures - vintage-looking leather, high-gloss skirts, silk - ensure the most feminine prints retain edge.
