Albus Lumen Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The infamous works of Spanish painter, sculptor, ceramicist and all-round artistic producer Pablo Picasso, and his daughter, style icon Paloma, best known for her jewelry designs for Tiffany & Co. Think the lifestyle mantra of the constantly-on-vacation Missoni family, minus the eclectic patterns and rainbow color palette.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Imagine if New York-based label A Détacher dedicated a collection to The Handmaid’s Tale, set on location at a luxury fishing village, and you might be able to conjure up a sense of Albus Lumen’s latest collection, which centered on relaxed, breezy looks that would be just as home on the streets of Cannes as a casual evening of gallery-hopping in Chelsea.
WEAR IT TO: Hop on board a traditional wooden boat in Sorrento and set sail in the Gulf of Naples to the island of Capri, where you’ll explore the famed Blue Grotto and the Gardens of Augustus, before indulging in a brief affair with your broody Italian skipper.
FIRST READ: A chocolate brown suede midi coat, styled with a matching headscarf, statement gold hoop earring, black strappy flats and a wristlet black bucket bag.
BEST LOOK: Peppered with wearable, loose-fitting dresses and separates sure to be a hit among Tibi aficionados, Albus Lumen’s ocean and earth-inspired collection is fit for those seeking to stand-out while going low-key.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Bucket hats, headscarves and oversized blazers gave the collection a luxe-peasant vibe, while standout gold jewelry, sheer cover-ups and wristlet bags elevated looks to five-star resort-ready.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: The headscarves against the stacks of terracotta pots reminds me of an Anne Geddes shoot crossed with images of the Gumnut Babies for some reason, and I love it.”
COLOR WHEEL: Seafoam green, chocolate brown, russet, forest green, rust, caramel, powder blue, peach.
