Winter can feel like a time when everything fades and softens into gray, but Gilda Midani makes blue hues shine with verve and creativity. Her resort collection evokes images of the archipelagos, white seafoam and deep mineral tones of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil, allowing us to imagine that we’re lying on a pristine beach, even as we head into the chilly months.
Gilda’s latest offerings marry unique versions of her signature free-form dye techniques with a color story crafted exclusively for Wild Life. The line is awash with crimps, geometric patterns and artsy splashes in oceanic tones. Patterns which mirror schools of Blue Tang fish, waves crashing upon the shoreline and dappled light beneath the water float dreamily across the body.
Simple silhouettes make an appearance in airy linens, soft cottons and silks that feel as effortless as snorkeling through crystalline seas. Each piece drapes and takes on dye in a different way so every garment is a one-of-a-kind wearable getaway.
This collection from Gilda evokes both the tranquility and playfulness that we desire from a tropical vacation. Clothing that captures the essence of blue in all its forms: splashing, calm, luminous and full of possibility.
“In the middle of winter, I found that there was, in me, an invincible summer.”
—Albert Camus
