By Malene Birger Resort 2026 Collection
A scan of By Malene Birger's resort lookbook suggests that all is business as usual at the label, but that's not quite so; as brand director Barbara Gullstein said on a call, we should think of resort 2026 as a 'transitional season.' This is because Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt, the newly appointed creative director who also owns the brand, is settling in. In the lead up to this transition, Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt spent about a year working side-by-side with Maja Dixdotter, the previous creative director, who had created a strong but minimal bohemian aesthetic for BMB.
Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt's use of double-face fabrics, fringe, and hide, along with her palette, continue in this vein. What's changed, explained Gullstein, is the framing of the work. The idea is that the nomad has returned from travels away. 'There has been a need of adapting the collection and making it a bit more wearable for that global woman who works and lives a real life,' Gullstein said, and it's 'these practical elements that play into how Emilie has approached this collection.'
The way the lookbook is photographed and styled—still images in a white room with a lone piece of furniture—is suggestive of a sense of interiority and perhaps of stocktaking. If a burgundy leather suit is pure business, a dreamy pale pink cable-knit sweater and skirt set is most definitely hyggelig, i.e. cozy.

What we wear contributes to how we show up
At the Exceptional Women Alliance, we empower high-level women to mentor one another, encouraging personal and professional fulfillment through meaningful connections. This month, I am delighted to interview Marissa Andrada, culture master and kindness catalyst at the firm bearing her name. Marissa shares her valuable insights on all things fashion, empowerment, and the importance of self-expression in the workplace—why dressing confidently is about who you are, not just what you wear. Q: How has your personal relationship with fashion evolved alongside your career growth? Marissa Andrada: Early in my career, the companies I worked in had a 'power profile,' e.g. a language to use, a certain style of clothing to wear. I was coached to adapt to this power profile as a way of fitting in and making it. I felt like I could only show up as a small part of me and it impacted my ability to bring my full self to work. I had to carefully curate my outfits each day. Because I wasn't dressing authentically, it became exhausting to get ready every morning, overthinking how not to be 'too much.' However, navigating that phase taught me so much—it helped me to build resilience, reinforce my personal values, and deepen my understanding of how culture shapes belonging. Today, I intentionally create and advocate for cultures that embrace authenticity and celebrate individual style. I can now use my experience to empower others and help evolve workplace fashion norms and labels. I have seen firsthand the impact of connection through style and self-expression. Q: Many people feel pressure to dress the part at work. What advice would you give someone trying to stay authentic while navigating professional expectations? Andrada: If you are in a culture with a specific dress code that feels limiting, look for small and personally meaningful ways to express your individuality. For example, sport a pair of funky socks that only you can see, rock a statement ring, wear your favorite drop earrings, a cool watch, special belt, or your post-gym ponytail (sans Nikes). The key is to find little moments of joy and self-expression even within the boundaries of a formalized dress code. The small touches will remind you and those around you of who you are. Pro tip? Gamify the experience each day—have fun with it. Q: In your experience, how does feeling good in what you wear impact how you show up as a leader? Andrada: Oh wow, this is a great question because, when you show up for yourself, when YOU feel good, it radiates through everything you do—how you walk and carry yourself, how you talk and greet others, how you inspire those around you, and how you lead. Feeling good transforms your energy. Feeling confident in your appearance is not about aesthetics, it is about ownership and honoring yourself. When you can do that for yourself, it gives permission for others to do the same. Q: How can organizations better embrace and support authentic self-expression through fashion in the workplace? Andrada: It starts with leadership. Culture is a reflection of leadership. When leaders set the tone and lead by example, it has a ripple effect on the rest of the team and ultimately the organization. It is about values and outcomes, not conformity. When companies create true cultures of belonging, dress codes naturally evolve and allow more room for authentic self-expression. When employees feel seen, accepted, and empowered, they will perform at their best, and that includes how they express themselves through style. Q: Who or what inspires your approach to fashion, style, and leadership today? Andrada: I am inspired daily by life itself. Each day is a new opportunity for me to discover something or someone new, whether it's a new designer or a future business leader. My regular interactions always lead to new energy and inspire my approach to fashion, style, and leadership. I love the creativity of using what I wear as an extension of my energy. While I follow what's happening on the runway, I am equally inspired by street fashion. I love a high-low combo too as it reflects my perspective on leadership—being bold but remaining real. A touch of aspiration while being relatable and attainable. Q: What advice would you give your younger self about fashion, work, and self-confidence? Andrada: I would tell her that it will get easier and to continue to follow and lead with heart. Your style is an expression of you and your true spirit, and you should never have to hide that but embrace and celebrate it in the ways you can at any given moment. Confidence isn't about being fashionable, it's about being true to yourself. Through Marissa, it's clearly visible that fashion isn't just about clothes, and if you saw her in person you would know what I mean! It is about confidence, identity, connection, and empowerment. Through style and spirit, we can create cultures of inclusion and vibrancy.

Lululemon's new linen collection keeps you sweat-free all summer long
New gear drops every single week at Lululemon and this week we're stoked that its lightweight LuluLinen is finally here. As someone who tries to wear functional yet stylish athleisure wear during the summer, this linen clothing line aligns with exactly what I'm reaching for to wear on blistering hot days. We love shopping for new versions of classic silhouettes. Similar to its Align No Line launch back in May, the LuluLinen collection is comprised of similar designs that we know and love, but are updated with seasonal materials. Below are the men's and women's pieces. They come in a handful of neutral colors and, for the most part, range from sizes XXS to XXL. Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Relaxed Button-Up A breezy oversized button-up is dreamy for those days when you want to look presentable but feel extremely comfortable. It comes in a crisp white or light khaki and is long enough to cover your bum if you want to throw biker shorts underneath for a more casual look. Lululemon Women's LuluLinen High-Rise Shorts Splurge for the matching shorts if you're already getting the top. They come in an additional baby blue color if you want to tastefully clash and are a substantial six inches long to prevent your legs from chafing when dashing around the neighborhood. Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pleated Trousers Still looking for the perfect gift for your hubby, dad or other father figure in your life? Look no further. These ultra-light pleated trousers are suitable for summer barbecues, dinners out on the town and even beach vacations. The hardest part will be choosing which earth tone to buy. Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Trousers As a trouser lover, I picture myself wearing these into the office with a mock neck top and ballet flats for a smart casual look. The bottom of the pant legs are cuffed and hemmed to avoid unnecessary tailoring. For those who avoid belts, these pants have an elastic waistband that stays put all day long. Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Oversized Blazer Channel your inner Paige DeSorbo with a drapey double-breasted blazer. It's suitable for cool days in the office or seaside walks and pairs nicely with the high-rise shorts and a cropped bra top. This blazer also covers your rear if you want to throw it over an athletic set or onesie post Pilates. Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Short-Sleeve Shirt Personally, I like the tailored look of the men's short sleeve versus the women's. It also comes in three different and lighter colors and a light blue that is the perfect beach pastel. Lucky for men's clothing wearers, it's also $10 less than the women's. Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pull-On Shorts While linen is in the name, this new fabric wicks sweat better and is less prone to wrinkling. These casual shorts can take on vigorous walks and lifting sessions with ease and the roomy glute and thigh areas are perfect for those who need the extra inches. Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Long-Sleeve Shirt Ditch your go-to date night white tee for something a bit more refined. This long-sleeved button-up can be worn closed or open if you're leaning towards a more relaxed fit and comes in cream, blue and white. It's the perfect OOO and happy hour uniform that can be worn all season long. Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pull-On Pants Pull-on pants are my go-to for a number of reasons. They look great with an active sandal like Tevas or Chacos and pair nicely with Birkenstock Boston Clogs. I adore the darker colors that these bottoms come in and appreciate the leg tapering for a more polished look. With Father's Day this weekend and summer weather heating up, it's the perfect time to stock up on reliable clothing pieces for yourself or a loved one before you need them the most. Keep in mind that there's never bad weather, just bad clothing so prepare for and look put together during the next heat wave with Lululemon's LuluLinen collection. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the deals for the day to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups of the best sales to shop.
