Behind The Seams:
The Story of Our Wisteria Print
With every new season, we seek out the kind of beauty that doesn’t just spin heads but lingers in the mind like a core memory. For Resort AW25, we looked into a bloom that’s steeped in its storytelling and softness – the Wisteria Vine. Its cascading tendrils and delicate shades have long captured the hearts of designers, artists and poets alike, so for this collection, we’ve reimagined its fleeting elegance into a print that flows across silhouettes, just as the bloom would itself – whether draping from a sun-drenched balcony or climbing the walls of a poolside from your Euro Summer adventure.
A Floral Legacy
The Origin of Wisteria
Native to East Asia, Wisteria first flourished in Japan and China, where its beauty was revered in sacred texts and ancient gardens. Symbolising longevity, love and new beginnings, the elegantly long vine became more than just ornamental, it was spiritual. Japanese folklore will link the Wisteria to tales of devotion and patience due to its slow-growing roots and dramatic bloom – encapsulating strength. In Chinese tradition, it represents enduring affection and honour and is often planted in palaces and temples.
As the Wisteria made her way west, she became a muse in romantic literature and 19th-century design, trailing across wallpapers, fine embroidery, and oil paintings. Today, the flower is a demonstration of wistful elegance, soft yet striking and refined yet wild. This vision is captured in the core of Resort AW25.
Soft Lilac with Strength In Her Hues
A Palette of Petal-Toned Desire
Colour shares a story long before the cut. Our Wisteria print plays with tones of muted lavender, powdery lilac, and whispering violet to mirror the bloom’s gentle cascade. The hues are reminiscent of twilight hours and desert sunsets – delicate yet captivating against golden skin. There’s a subtle sensuality to our Wisteria vines, a dream-like palette designed to compliment sunlit escapes and daytime adventures alike.
In the heat of a Euro Summer, these tones feel especially hypnotic, softening every angle and cooling the skin. When swept across pretty playsuits, puff sleeve co-ords, sun-soaked swim and ankle-grazing linen dresses, they bloom in motion and dance with the breeze in the light.
Wisteria’s Poetic Tales
A Bloom Reimagined
More than just a print, Wisteria serves as our collection’s muse. You see her curve and drape throughout the designs, flowing gracefully on an elegant sleeve and tying romance into every knot of swimwear straps. The print’s placement is intentional but never overthought. Like the flower, these pieces were created to make an entrance. There’s hidden poetry in their simplicity and seduction with their ease. Picture them as souvenirs from a destination you never wish to leave – somewhere fluid, feminine and finished with a hint of wild charm.
For The Dreamers & The Jet-Set
A Symbol of Romance In Bloom
So, whether you’re lounging by the poolside in a golden hour or slipping into something playful for rooftop cocktails, our Wisteria Bloom print captures the mood of elegant escapism, perfect for your Euro Summer journey. Style our pieces with beach-waved hair and minimal gold accessories for a goddess look that still feels grounded – because Wisteria doesn’t shout, it whispers, trails and entices, like all things romantic and rare.
