For her second resort collection, Jordana Warmflash channeled English ceramic artist Clarice Cliff, known for her Art Deco pottery that mixed colors and patterns circa the Twenties and Thirties. The designer worked with an illustrator to develop free-form watercolor prints based around a picnic theme — lobsters, strawberries, cutlery, teapots and vegetables were then blown up and abstracted onto flirty and feminine silk dresses and separates.
Other looks came in lightweight cotton jacquard, printed sequins and denim, a new category for the brand, seen on jackets, shirting and wide-leg flares. The sweet playfulness of Warmflash’s picnic print, when styled against more graphic separates in stripe and windowpane patterns, felt fresh and happy. Also covetable: her cut-out leather tops in a halter silhouette.
