At Shanghai Fashion Week, Hong Kong designer Karen Chan once again demonstrated why her label, SPARKLE by Karen Chan, continues to captivate audiences both in Asia and beyond.
Rebecca Hessel Cohen’s LoveShackFancy Resort 2027 collection marks a graceful evolution of the brand’s signature romantic universe, weaving together nostalgia, femininity, and a more refined sense of modern glamour. Inspired by memories of maternal elegance, Nineties style codes, and treasured moments spent at family celebrations, the collection unfolds as a richly layered narrative that moves effortlessly between countryside sophistication, ballet-inspired fantasy, and whimsical escapism.
Derek Lam’s Resort 2027 collection is a masterclass in understated sophistication, refining everyday dressing through the lens of modern elegance. The lookbook embraces a polished minimalism that feels both intelligent and wearable, presenting a wardrobe designed for women who appreciate quiet confidence over fleeting trends. Every silhouette is considered, balancing fluidity and structure with an ease that has long defined the designer’s aesthetic.
For Resort 2027, Daniella Kallmeyer continues her exploration of thoughtful dressing through a collection rooted in the concept of personal curation. Inspired by the notion of a wardrobe shaped over time rather than acquired in a single season, the designer introduces her vision of the "atelier woman", a figure defined by confidence, precision, and an effortless sense of individuality. Drawing subtle influence from the poised authority of the atelier manager in Phantom Thread, the collection balances disciplined craftsmanship with an ease that feels instinctive rather than prescribed.
Fresh from a season marked by high-profile commissions and royal bridal creations, Emilia Wickstead turns her attention to the poetic intersection of art and fashion for Resort 2027. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering work of American abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler, the collection captures the fluidity, optimism, and quiet sophistication that defined the artist’s celebrated approach to colour and form. Rather than translating artwork directly onto fabric, Wickstead channels Frankenthaler’s spirit through a nuanced exploration of tone, texture, and movement.
Taller Marmo’s Swim 2026 collection captures the effortless allure of a Mediterranean escape, translating the romance of sun-drenched coastlines and leisurely glamour into a wardrobe designed for modern resort living. Expanding beyond its celebrated jersey swimwear foundations, the house introduces a refined offering of coordinated separates, versatile dresses, and elevated beach-to-city essentials that embody a sophisticated vision of warm-weather dressing.
