Nicole and Matthew Mellon recently ventured to St. Barths, drawing from the island’s French influence, sophisticated locals and washed-out colors. Their resort collection was all about soft, easy dressing and pattern mixing, the best looks being a series of printed silk chiffon drop-waist minidresses with ruching and lace-up necklines in soft blues and olive greens.
Sheer chiffon sweatshirts, lightweight knitted sweaters that mimicked lace and shimmering metallic jersey tops proved a perfect match for layering over the brand’s sequin shorts, painted over with a subtle crackle effect. “We like using chiffons for jackets and sweatshirts, and then sequins on cut-off shorts….It’s about dressing up the more casual items, and dressing down the dressier ones,” Nicole said.
