Karla Špetić Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Sustainable fashion and a commitment to delivering an environmentally-conscious collection, while staying true to designer Karla Spetic’s signature soft tailoring and layered looks in a series of masculine silhouettes using ladylike fabrics.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott in matching bubble wrap hooded jumpsuits while going undercover at a meeting hosted by UFO cultist leader Zoltan in Dude Where’s My Car. Think The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy reimagined as a Bondi hippie It girl.
WEAR IT TO: Your first public appearance as GrowNYC Environmental Ambassador, hosting a rubbish collection event at an offsite on the shores of Montauk.
FIRST READ: Spectic paired structured menswear tailoring with flirty sheer fabrics and undone, beachy styling – think boyfriend blazers worn with asymmetrical floaty skirts, or a bubble wrap dress worn over white swimwear briefs, and the packaging cut in an anorak style with pockets, thrown over a one-piece swimsuit with cutouts, splashed with a recycling-logo print. BEST LOOK: A seafoam-green linen jacket, worn over a ruched crop top and high-waisted culottes, and styled under a longer bubble-wrap trench.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Statement oversized silver drop earrings, functional white Crocs – perfect for a day of grunt work cleaning up the planet – feminine sheer fabrics and a focus on layering, bustiers worn over shirts and paperbag midi skirts teamed with strapless gingham tops.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I remember coming to a wedding at this venue last summer and my date got so drunk I had to order him an Uber home before sunset.”
COLOR WHEEL: Seafoam green, powder blue, white, tangerine, red, lilac, black, slate.
