Judith Eisler’s recent solo exhibition in Los Angeles, “Close-Ups & Two Shots,” which explored ideas of perception and identity, served as the starting point for Misha Nonoo’s resort lineup. She fused feminine dresses and separates with classic men’s wear items, working a graphic element into the pieces via stripes and curved, ocular lines seen in patchwork on dresses, pleated appliqué skirting and knitwear in a blue, white and burgundy palette.
The collection also included a few denim items for the first time — a category Nonoo has intentionally resisted — such as a flirty cut-out dress and flared trousers. “Our woman is somebody who’s very busy with a full life, and I try to cater to her from day to play,” Nonoo said. “Versatility is important.”
