Peter Jensen’s charming resort collection looked to the late Nineties and early Aughts, the era that marked both the launch of his label and the release of the film “Ghost World.” Jensen took the movie’s outsider-ish main character Enid, played by Thora Birch, as his muse this season, noting that her style has an “element of tomboy — that’s when a girl to me looks strongest.”
The collection offered simple silhouettes that riffed on the film’s themes. Ice-cream colored pastels nodded to the palette of the retro-themed American diner in the movie, as in a polo shirt-style dress in a lemon yellow jacquard, or an ice-cream motif on a lilac crewneck sweater paired with cropped pants. There were also roomy smock dresses, done in blue-and-green and black-and-gray plaid, that channeled Enid’s grungy wardrobe.
