Hansen & Gretel Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Back-to-School dressing with a streetwear sartorial flair, and the need for a rotating wardrobe of frilly frocks for the after-party following the big game at Harvard’s Cabot House.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Megan Fox prepping for the relaunch of her character Reagan in the final season of Fox’s New Girl. Think Torrence’s rocky road to cheering glory in 2000’s sports comedy, Bring It On.
WEAR IT TO: Tailgate warm-up drinks by your beau’s pickup truck in the camping grounds at the summer Firefly Festival in Dover, before making a quick change and adding a dose of face glitter before beelining to catch Sza’s return to the spotlight at the Backyard stage.
FIRST READ: Head designer Ainsley Hansen stayed true to the brand’s signature mashup of menswear silhouettes with a feminine edge – think athletic varsity-inspired sportswear spliced with floaty garden-party attire.
BEST LOOK: A chiffon crop topped with ruched and ruffle detailing in a jungle-inspired leafy print, teamed with a seafoam green shimmering knee-length skirt, black roman sandals and a 90’s shoelace choker.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Jungle prints and nautical, lifeguard-inspired vertical stripes, rocker lace-up boots, slouchy hobo bags, Studio 54 lurex disco separates.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Do you know if they’re selling their capsule collection with Myer or DJs? And what signal is that sending to the market?”
COLOR WHEEL: Red, royal blue, seafoam green, camel, brown, sage, cream, ivory, taupe, powder pink, black.
