High Summer 2021

Cara Cara's founders delved deep into their world of escapism to design High Summer, projecting their travel fantasies into a collection that manifests brighter times ahead of us after a year of collective darkness. Their trip itinerary includes stops in the remote jungle hideway of Blancaneaux in Belize where exotic flora and fauna scatter the canopy; a vintage-hued stay at Honolulu's pink stucco Royal Hawaiian in Joan Didion's heyday; and perennial retreats to the east end of Long Island where the hot sun drenches eyelet silhouettes as they dot lush gardens and windblown dunes. The prints, colors and textures are vivid and joyful, tapping into the dream and promise of a dawning New Glamour. Considering the new landscape of fashion, the silhouettes have evolved to allow for a more versatile, casual approach to dressing, one that may not include as many trips or events, but still captures the essence of the modern swan's endless evenings and fresh possibilities.
