Feeling the warm breeze on your skin as you walk a sugar-white beach surrounded by turquoise water, you think: perfection — except for this shipwrecked outfit and lunch of locusts.
You’re not livin’ in paradise unless you’re wearing the right sundress.
Enjoy a bit of tropical isolation in a wardrobe by Elissa Coleman. Inspired by the idea of getting stranded on an island, the Bali-based designer constructed a collection of dresses and tops from floaty silk and cotton voile and belts in supple suede.
Stroll barefoot on the sand in a hand-beaded, striped-silk Elita dress or the Get Higher silk frock painted with birds. The embroidered Good Luck top will keep you cool when the sun’s at its highest. Find solitude in soft silk leggings. And you’ll wear the navy Orchid belt forever.
Hey, it’s going to be a while before someone votes you off the island.
