With Dorothy Parker in mind, Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin designed a resort collection for a stylish “woman of words,” as Martin put it. “How she would dress at her typewriter.” On that note, there was an Old World romance to the lineup of layered, deconstructed trenches and pastel pleated skirts worn with demure ballet flats.
The clothes captured a bookish confidence, both girlishly charming in Chantilly lace, and bold in oversize silk stripes. A pair of lean, languid, plissé looks — dresses over pants — felt most befitting an elegant 21st-century writer who has traded in a typewriter for a MacBook Air.
