Give It a Nest

Megyn Florence

nest /’nest/

1. n. A receptacle assembled with twigs and branches in which a bird lays eggs.

2. v. To create a cozy dwelling.

3. n. The spring/summer collection from Brooklyn designer Megyn Florence, inspired by the twig structures created by our feathered friends.

For a classically influenced, cutting-edge look, pick from this striking lineup, wherein simple cotton linen is adorned with antique closures and silk charmeuse is cut with a metal-lined keyhole.

Observe: the Brooklyn pants in cotton linen form a straight and narrow leg. Pair them with the marsupial top: a basic tank decorated with a pouch-like hood that can be worn front or back. Or pull on the cropped silk jacket, on which the barely there keyhole is punched into a Peter Pan collar. For summer, the cotton linen tea skirt is a lesson in architectural design.

All in all, it’s the definition of style.
