This Fashion Collab Is Exactly What Your Summer Vacay Needs
Before you jet off on that Caribbean getaway or long weekend in New York, there is a little something extra that really needs to be in that suitcase of yours. Gilt Groupe and New York-based boutique Kirna Zabête have collaborated on a collection of 10 dresses that are perfect for just about every summer occasion.
If you’re not already familiar with these two brands, let’s play a quick game of catch-up. Gilt Groupe is something like an online fashion club + retailer that offers thier members up to 70% off designer goods. Kirna Zabête is a cutting-edge concept store in Soho that offers high-end designer women’s fashions in a sleek, stylish setting.
The collection is pretty much a slice of patterned heaven. You’ll find everything from a tropical maxi to a psychedelic paisley midi. All the pieces kind of look like something you’d expect to see Carrie Bradshaw walking around in on a warm New York night. The ten dresses could easily work for a whole bunch of different occasions, but just in case you need a bit of guidance, they’ve named each dress after an event. For example, there’s an off-the-shoulder number that’s labeled the “Gay Wedding Brunch” dress. You’ll also find dresses fit for a second date, a meeting on a Monday and even a 4 o’clock garden wedding.
While the pieces sold on Kirna Zabête’s site will typically set you back about half a grand, they embraced a slightly lower price point for their collaboration with Gilt Groupe. Although, we won’t say they’re at a Lilly Pulitzer + Target level of affordability. The cheapest dress comes in at $295 and the most expensive caps off at $595. It’s definitely an investment, but is it worth the splurge if it means you get to own one of coolest dresses of the summer? It just might be.
