Kallmeyer Resort 2026 Collection
A softness blanketed the latest Kallmeyer collection, shown at the brand's brightly sunlit new SoHo loft studio. 'We call it romantic tailoring,' said Daniella Kallmeyer. 'I was really drawn to these small elements and textures that felt like they were from another time, maybe, but brought into a modern context.' A slim maxi coat with architectural silver buttons placed only to the mid-waist, for example, was engineered to dramatically expose a layered silk gown whose asymmetrical hems swished and swooshed underneath. Kallmeyer is a designer who considers not only color and silhouette, but gestures—she sets the stage with her pieces, allowing her customers to step into her clothes and fill them with their own attitude and savoir faire. A slim tailored jacket had slits on the inside of the sleeves that went all the way above the elbows because she knows her customer likes to wear pristine button-down shirts, undo the cuffs, and let the fabric dramatically drape in the crook of their arms; an oversized silk organza shirt had delicate lace peeking out from underneath the cuffs. A reversible cashmere coat was inspired by an old Isaac Mizrahi sketch of an 'embrace me coat.' 'I loved this feeling of being permanently bundled up,' Kallmeyer noted, putting on the coat then taking it off and putting it back on the other way. She took that same reversible combo of navy and 'mink' cashmere and used it on a cropped jacket and matching wrap mini skirt—an absolute necessity if ever there were one. (In one shot, she layered the skirt over the coat, totally oozing with power and sensuality.) But Kallmeyer didn't fully give in to whimsy; rounding out the lineup was a handsome leather bomber with a funnel neck and voluminous sleeves, screen-printed velvet that looked elegantly aged, and quasi-acid wash denim in a pattern she said was meant to resemble fur. There was also a proper fabulous off-white shearling coat. Shots of chocolate brown, magenta, and ultramarine blue—the latter on an especially fabulous blouse with short sleeves—showed a flair for the decadent and the practical.

Can Skirt Suits Be Hip? One Gen Z Writer Tries It
Late last year, like Moses at Mount Sinai, Lily-Rose Depp delivered the Chanel skirt suit to Gen Z. In recent months, more celebrities under 30 have embraced the officewear staple. Some are more prim, like Mikey Madison, who finished out her Oscar campaign in a powder blue Patou set, while others have embraced vintage, like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, who flock to ultra-sexy Mugler. Chase Sui Wonders took a youthful approach in a lively colored miniskirt and patterned button-up underneath, while Daisy Edgar-Jones channelled her inner Working Girl in a gray shoulder-padded Calvin Klein Collection two-piece. While all of these women looked fabulous, I'll admit I was skeptical of incorporating skirt suits into my own wardrobe. Not only is it inconsistent with my more casual jeans-and-tee style, I worried that wearing one would feel less like a confidence boost and more like a girlboss costume. But, guided by my fellow Gen Z and cuspers, I decided to try the look for myself. Mikey Madison Raymond Hall Chase Sui Wonders Aeon For my foray, I turned to the doyenne of suiting: Daniella Kallmeyer, who loaned me an inky black blazer and matching skirt. Complete with lightly flared sleeves, a thigh-grazing miniskirt, and a gently nipped waist, it became abundantly clear to me that the first step in rocking a skirt suit is the tailoring. Like with any other piece of clothing, it'll feel dowdy if it's an unflattering cut, but a good fit feels especially critical for the skirt suit, which is so heavily associated with corporatism, conservatism, and office culture. With a shorter hemline, a little waist definition, and a satin-y finish, the look was instantly elevated from workwear to a chic set. Styling also played an important role in my endeavor. While many of its celebrity fans prefer a stiletto, I knew that I wanted to create some sartorial tension with a funky shoe. I wore my Kallmeyer look to a work event, which demanded a bit more formality than usual, so I added my Tory Burch slingbacks with a pierced peep-toe. Were I to wear it to the office or even out with friends, I would consider adding a knee-high boot, loafers with sheer socks, or even something like a pair of Olsen-approved Tevas. I would also add a white tee or a NSFW top underneath for a more relaxed look.

A Downtown Cool Brand's Secret Weapon: American Manufacturing
At Daniella Kallmeyer's namesake label, sales of her luxury clothing have been growing, runway shows are well-attended and celebrities like Katie Holmes, Chloe Fineman, Sophia Bush and Cynthia Erivo are fans.
