With sustainability, natural fibers and artisanal techniques at the forefront, which Lorna Murray is renowned for, together, they bring Kathy’s iconic colorful summer soiree vision to life. Each piece in this beautiful collection is a limited-edition work of art that exemplifies the union between classic sophistication and casual fun, which is conveyed through kaleidoscopic colorways including nautical coral, perky polka dots, lashings of candy stripes, crayon colors, blushing ballet pinks, punchy poolside color palettes and sundrenched themes of alternating colors including hallmarks of retro flair. “Collaborating with Kathy on this collection - The Dress Circle - has been an absolute joy. Her kind genuine nature, innate flair for fashion, and keen eye for design have brought a unique vibrancy to the collection. Together, we have crafted a resort collection that embodies chic feminine elegance, playfulness and a sense of fun, perfect for the modern muse,” said Murray.

With a nod to the scenes of a Slim Aarons photo shoot, the recently released Palm Royale TV series and Hollywood golden glamour, this collection has it all with hand drawn illustrations featuring Kathy’s favorite places with poolside monkeys wearing hats amongst flamingos and palm trees, Kathy’s favorite flower Lily of the Valley, four leaf clovers, embroidered detailing, and sumptuous hand-woven and hand-dyed materials. The coastal collection embodies effortless nautical charm and timeless appeal in shades of tangerine, coral and summer white while the Capri, aptly named Front Row is classically beautiful with its jasmine white trim; Calypso is inspired by summer fun with cocktails by the boardwalk and July encapsulates an all-American style with its iconic red, white and blue.
