Mara Hoffman S/S 2018 – Review
INSPIRED BY: The designer’s sharp focus on sustainability and commitment to using organic materials to deliver a breathable, lightweight collection with a pared-back approach to silhouettes and prints.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Breaking Amish’s Kate Stoltz spending her Rumspringa year working at the Sussex County Sunflower Maze in New Jersey.
WEAR IT TO: Unpack boxes of organic baby Bok Choy and yuca sourced from Costa Rica during your Sunday volunteer shift at the Park Slope Food Co-Op, while being jostled by stroller moms in yoga pants.
FIRST READ: Tiered and button-up pajama-style silk dresses, a denim jumpsuit worn over a ribbed tee and navy flared pants, teamed with a matching knit, combined to form a collection suited to the consummate Williamsburg hipster. Think the sort of getup an Instagram darling might don to Smorgasburg on a balmy April weekend.
BEST LOOK: An off-the-shoulder floor-length white gown featuring a circular geometric print, paired with white slides.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: 70’s-style floral prints on coats and trousers reflected a marked departure from Hoffman’s trademark Miami-inspired flashy swimwear.
COLOR WHEEL: Apricot, aqua, orange, red, white, navy, yellow, forest green, indigo, mustard, blue, black, cerulean, beige.
