The Garment's Resort 2027 collection draws inspiration from a historic Danish windmill, emphasizing personal comfort and a lived-in aesthetic. This season, designer Charlotte Eskildsen crafts a wardrobe designed for women who dress for themselves, blending intimate loungewear elements with refined tailoring to create versatile and elegant pieces.
Embracing Intimate Elegance: Fashion that Speaks to the Soul
From Historic Interiors to Contemporary Wardrobes: The Lille Mølle Influence
The latest pre-collection from The Garment finds its creative roots in a Danish historical treasure, Lille Mølle. Moving beyond the previous season's inspiration from Vilhelm Hammershøi's interiors, Charlotte Eskildsen's Resort 2027 line reflects the inviting atmosphere of this 17th-century windmill, home, and former mill near Christiania. The lookbook itself is set within this charming location, and several jacquard fabrics directly reference the upholstery found within its walls. Eskildsen articulates her vision, stating that the intention was to translate the lived-in quality of the rooms into garments for a woman who values personal style over public showmanship, desiring to express her true self within the comfort of her own space.
The Art of At-Home Dressing: Comfort Meets Sophistication
The collection delves into the concept of intimate dressing with delicate lace and lingerie-inspired pieces, including surprising appearances of bloomers. Recognizing that personal comfort isn't monolithic, Eskildsen envisions a spectrum of at-home wear. This ranges from plush pajamas, perfect for a cozy night of television, to elegant ensembles suitable for hosting a gathering. The designs encapsulate a golden glow, suggesting a luxurious yet relaxed sensibility for every aspect of private life.
Harmonizing Contrasts: Blending Feminine Softness with Structured Lines
A hallmark of The Garment's design philosophy lies in its ability to juxtapose feminine charm with what Charlotte Eskildsen describes as 'masculine-coded references.' This season, the integration of 1990s-inspired tailoring is particularly evident. An example is a pair of slim-cut trousers paired with an asymmetrically fastened vest, creating an elegant drape and fluidity in the fabric. A similar design approach is seen in a silk slip dress featuring a single spaghetti strap and one sleeve, which subtly shifts the fabric's weight, reinforcing themes of intimacy and softness. The classic boiled-wool Tyrolean jacket is reimagined with a cropped silhouette, adorned with passementerie-trimmed knit and frog closures. Additionally, a whimsical set comprising scallop-hemmed shorts and a lace-trimmed cape evokes a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood aesthetic, adding a playful touch to the collection.
