Maximalist Meadow

Saturated Petals & Rainbow Braids

The Kaleidoscope Curator Look is the ultimate expression of color. Taking the tiered maxi silhouette we’ve explored throughout the collection, this version features oversized floral motifs in orange, pink, and teal against a deep obsidian base. By incorporating multi-colored braided sandals and matching straw tote bags, we create a look that is as playful as it is curated.

Get the Look:

  • The Hero: A tiered, sleeveless maxi dress with a smocked bodice and large-scale, vibrant floral prints.
  • The Footwear: Flat sandals featuring a rainbow-braided T-strap design.
  • The Carry: Dual straw tote bags accented with floral fabric patches that match the dress.
  • The Details: Translucent purple-framed sunglasses and a set of gold-toned bangles.
