BLUE JEAN BABY / GIRL CODE / CALIFORNIA CHILL / SUGAR & SPICE
Blue Jean Baby At its core denim is timeless, boundary transcending and can anchor almost any outfit. Reinvented materials and elevated details have reinvigorated the way we style denim. Vintage interpretations, worn-in and youthfully distressed represent the quintessential West Coast style. Artisan embroideries are the provenance of street style. The latest in cool jeans is full of retro renaissance, driven by ’90s influences.

Girl Code Streetwear’s ongoing influence makes its presence known with social media darlings and off-duty models spinning the most up-to-date, trend-savvy pairings, highlighting the importance of now dressing. A youthful yet sexy twist for our casual weekender pairs together various combinations of retro California looks. Nostalgic fashion references the ’90s, with club culture and reinvented Goth mall style for a mashup of our new festival girl. Instagram-ready style paves the way for millennial dressing.

California Chill Cali lifestyle is the driving force behind the casual fashion takeover. With beach-to-street dressing, L.A. trendsetters define laid-back cool. Carefree and layered, a spirited hodgepodge of street, surf, gypsy and active redefines urban boho chic. Retro references continue to inspire, with soft feminine dressing that moves with ease, and skin-baring moments styled with a simplistic edge. Loungewear and cozy classics for everyday relaxed living are taken apart and redone in a youthful, playful way.

Tommy Hilfiger
Sugar & Spice Ultra femme, sinfully playful yet innocently sweet, our fresh-faced girl is rooted in retro charm. An emphasis on romantic ease, ladylike edginess and sophisticated simplicity are part of her everyday styling. The whimsy of boudoir dressing, eye-catching laces, translucent fabrics and imaginative pairings are her go-to looks. Wildly romantic florals, a watercolor of sweet candy colors, blushing nudes, barely-there blush and creamy whites satisfy her love of femininity.
