Talk Shirty to Me

Bilingual Clothing

They say you can never go home again. You say you can’t get away fast enough.

Instead of running from your roots, embrace them — with Jacqueline Floro’s new line of clothing, Bilingual. After years of working in fashion (at Natori and Polo, among others), the Ohio native went to explore her homeland, Southeast Asia. She came back very, very inspired.

Crochet slips and tube tops with lace and chiffon detailing evoke memories of simpler times and places. Peacock and bloom prints are reminiscient of Floro’s treks through Cambodia. Wispy shirtdresses pay homage to backpacking through silk fields. (Talk about the grass being greener.)

Nothing is too austere or over the top. Floro mixes the best of both worlds when it comes to flattering cuts and subtle details.

Better leave your closet light on for this one.
