Marking two decades of design, Monica Paolini and Sean Monahan return to their roots for Sea’s Resort 2027 collection, drawing inspiration from the riverside character and maritime heritage of their hometown, Newburgh, New York. Set against the backdrop of the Hudson Valley, the collection reflects the brand’s enduring ability to balance romance with practicality, weaving together nautical utility, vintage sportswear references, and refined femininity into a wardrobe that feels both nostalgic and distinctly contemporary.

A new chapter unfolds with the introduction of “Sea NY & Supply", a capsule-inspired label that nods to heritage sporting goods and reinforces the collection’s utilitarian spirit. Functional silhouettes take center stage through cheerful raincoats in daffodil yellow, camouflage cargo trousers, and coordinated windbreakers paired with matching skirts. Maritime influences surface through whimsical fish-print scarves and reimagined fishing creel baskets wrapped with silk foulards, while inventive layering pieces, including structured apron-style cummerbunds and cleverly constructed dresses that mimic layered separates, add depth and character to the narrative.

The collection gradually shifts from workwear-inspired practicality to a softer, more romantic sensibility. Delicate lace inserts, pearl embellishments, and references to historical undergarments introduce a sense of elegance, while voluminous bloomers and relaxed culottes bring a playful femininity to the silhouette. A rich palette of jade green and deep amethyst further amplifies the collection’s sense of modern romance, creating a striking contrast against its rugged foundations.

With Resort 2027, Sea celebrates its twentieth anniversary by revisiting the themes that have long defined the brand: craftsmanship, storytelling, and an instinctive understanding of how women dress. The result is a thoughtful and richly layered collection that honors the past while embracing a fresh vision of everyday sophistication.
