Live with purpose.


Do you hear that? It’s our summer collection—and it’s music to our ears.

Airy, joyful, and flexible, this collection was inspired by summers full of sound: summers marked by a favorite song; by the unexpectedly melodic clink of ice in your glass; by the exclamations of an overexcited bird. It’s a collection that embraces spontaneity and encourages you to shed your blazer, kick off your shoes, and dance to the beat of your own drummer.

Like a great song, this collection is rooted in finely honed technique but has some unexpected riffs that will make you want to wear it on repeat. We have lightweight, stretchy suiting in an electrifying new blue; a twisty print called Symphony that will harmonize beautifully with the rest of your wardrobe; a gingham linen jumpsuit you’ll wear from presentations to picnics; and more.

We’ve called this collection Play By Ear, because it will get you ready to go wherever the music takes you. We hope it inspires you to let loose, unwind, and dance like your favorite song just came on.

Linen for Real Life

Linen is a summer wardrobe staple thanks to its natural breathability and easy-breezy vibe. Made in an Italian mill specializing in stretch linen, this particular fabric offers a more polished look than traditional linen. Plus, the black-and-white gingham pattern is specifically designed to hide wrinkles, making it easy to wear to the office. Try it in the easy Flaka top and Milo pants, the statement-making Demi jumpsuit, and the brand-new Dolly jacket.

A Visual Symphony

Ready to make your wardrobe sing? Look no further than our intricately designed symphony-print pieces. Made from 100% washable silk, the Annika top, Alyssa jacket, and Zhou culottes are simultaneously playful and versatile. Wear them all together, or break them up with solid-colored styles for a subtler splash.

It’s Electric (Blue)!

Our new electric blue pieces are like the clothing version of caffeine—ideal for days when you need some extra motivation. Plus, our super-soft, ultra-lightweight ponte is machine-washable, so if you spill your actual coffee, it’s no big deal. Grab the Allyn pants and Janette blazer for a complete suit, or try the Elsa dress for a one-and-done outfit.

A Vacation in Clothing Form

Floaty, calming, and light, our poplin pieces are like a vacation in clothing form. You should wear the Janie dress and Nichols shirt for all your actual vacations, of course, but they’re also ideal for casual offices, special occasions, and whatever you’re getting up to next weekend.

Sweater Weather Forever

If you’re someone who mourns the end of sweater season, we have good news for you: Popcorn knit has the chunky-sweater vibe you love, but it’s extremely lightweight, so you won’t overheat in the warmer months. Try the Liam sweater and Senga skirt together as a chic set, and mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe.
