Monochrome Monday: The Mandarin Oriental (Celadon Green) Edition
Because one of the world's most luxurious hotels decided its Celadon Green season, we had to make sure everyone can dress for the occasion. Monochromatic of course.
There's a new shade on the grid, and it's come with credentials. Mandarin Oriental has teamed up with Pantone to develop its own colour - Celadon Green - rolled out as part of the hotel group's brand refresh. It now appears across everything from uniforms and stationery to signage and silkscreened walls.
According to Pantone, it's 'elevated, balanced, and calming' - but it's also versatile, modern, and precise enough to hold its own in fashion. Which is where this week's edit comes in. A palette that sits somewhere between mineral and mist, celadon green works best when the texture does the talking: beading, fishnet, metallic leather, and soft-edged resin. The pieces below share tone, but not mood - some are sculptural, some fluid, all tightly considered.
Think less matchy-matchy, more tonal choreography. Below, a sharp little wardrobe study in pale green, featuring everything from Elie Saab runway gowns to Sapfira rings and barely-there sunglasses by Karen Wazen. Celadon might have been made for a hotel brand - but it translates just fine off the clock. Elie Saab | Bead Embroidered Dress With Butterfly Sleeves
Crystalline embroidery catches in the light like seafoam on silk. Butterfly sleeves and a column shape ground the detail in ease. Bottega Veneta | Knot Clutch
Iconic shape, softened by tone. The celadon-mint leather gives this archival clutch a cooler temperature and a cleaner read. The Shore Thing | Aqua Marine Fishnet Dress
Fishnet reworked with calm intent. Celadon netting over bare skin or tonal slips reads both undone and editorial. Sapfira Jewelry | Sultry 01
Sculptural, irregular, and glassy. This ring moves like a mineral—quiet but hard to ignore. Lurline | Collection 7
Sheer paneling, sheer attitude. Lurline's layered knitwork keeps it coastal without tipping into cliché. Aquazzura | Summer Sun 85 Metallic Leather Sandals
Metallic celadon leather, shaped into a summer heel that balances structure with flash. Elevates linen. Disarms sequins. Eterna | Mariposa Top
Airy and asymmetrical. The Mariposa top folds and drapes with just enough drama to break a flat palette. Amouage | Existence
This scent wears like celadon looks: cool, barely floral, and lightly mineral. Notes sit close to the skin without fading. Karen Wazen | Ciara Green Tea Sunglasses
Semi-translucent and softly angular. These sunglasses tint the world celadon without going full retro.
