TARA BABYLON SS24

Tara Babylon’s SS24 collection is an airy take on summer staples that was inspired by floral prints and leftover fabrics. Via the use of textile experimentation and print ideas, the collection formed its own world of soft pastel colors. Mixed materials are used to create quintessential summer pieces that can be worn fluidly with one another. Fabrics include soft breathable cottons and linens that were intricately handwoven to create original textures that while soft to the touch, are a feast for the eye.  Amongst this sustainability-conscious collection you can find Tara’s signature techniques such as, safety-pin crochet, embroidery, t-shirt recycling, and braiding. While comfort focused, this is still Tara’s playful and glamorous interpretation of finding solace in the summer months.
