Leslie Amon’s ‘The After Sun’ Is a Love Letter to Summer’s Wild Side

On May 30th, 2025, as golden hour descended over Miami Beach, Leslie Amon debuted her Resort 2026 collection, The After Sun, inside the iconic PARAISO Tent. In a week defined by polished glam and poolside perfection, Amon delivered something else entirely—a show that shimmered with rebellion, softened with romance, and carried the unmistakable scent of mischief still lingering from the night before.

The collection tells the story of a girl who starts her night ethereal and radiant, and ends it barefoot in the sand, mascara smudged, soul alight. “The After Sun” doesn’t just reference SPF; it’s the emotional residue of a night surrendered to impulse—captured in glinting palettes, windswept fringe, and silhouettes that blur the line between escape and arrival.

The Mood: A Miami Sunrise After the Last Song Ends

Models strode the runway like they’d just left a beachside afterparty, still glowing from the magic of the night before. Sunset-infused neons and golden-hour hues bled into one another across the collection, while Hawaiian-inspired prints offered a playful wink to nostalgic tropics. Each piece moved with a lived-in ease—as if already danced in, kissed by sea spray, and baptized by the first light of day.

The Details: Feminine, Rebellious, and Unapologetically Free

Leslie Amon’s Resort 2026 collection brought together daring cut-outs, shimmery evening fabrics, and sensual flowy dresses, unified by the designer’s signature approach to luxury and liberation. Textures sparkled without shouting. Silhouettes whispered stories of seduction and self-possession. And fringe, glitter, and movement were essential—not decorative.

As Amon puts it, this was for “the girls who live [summer nights] with abandon.” It’s a collection that doesn’t beg for approval—it already knows where it’s going: wherever the moonlight leads.

French-Swiss designer Leslie Cohen Amon continues to define her own lane in luxury swim and resort wear. Her namesake brand has long been known for its flattering cuts, bold prints, and its ability to live seamlessly between the beach and the dance floor. What sets her apart, however, is the emotional narrative woven through each collection. Her pieces aren’t just garments—they’re stories, moments, declarations of freedom.

Crafted by women artisans around the globe, the brand is also a celebration of craftsmanship, ethical production, and empowered femininity. With “The After Sun,” Amon doubles down on the ethos that’s earned her the loyalty of fashion insiders and tastemakers alike: high-quality artistry paired with a rebellious European edge.
