Mosquito Coast

Mosquito Coast follows travelers leaving winter for a tropical destination that looks like paradise but isn't quite one. It captures the moment of landing somewhere new, still dressed for the season you left behind. The collection is about seasonal misalignment. Wool skirts carry traces of silk summer dresses, tailored trousers end in jogger cuffs, and garments are doubled: two bikinis, two halter dresses, two T-shirt dresses, worn together until they become warm enough but never quite right. Silk panels attach to wool bodies, zippers wrap from front to back, and closures multiply, so dressing becomes a negotiation rather than a decision. At its center is the traveler who is neither tourist nor local, always slightly out of sync. Rather than offering escape, the collection lingers in discomfort: waiting, jet lag, the awkward hours before check-in. Paradise is close, but not accessible yet. You are still carrying winter. Mosquito Coast is not about arrival, but about suspension — dressed for where you were, while imagining where you might go next.
