Tropical Glamour

’Tis the season for glamour so why not add a little French tropical twist to your style? Not all destinations are created equal when we think of tropical glamour and there is no place we’d rather be when dressing for the occasion than St. Barths. Landing here immediately transports you to a different time and place. A bygone era of champagne tours, bungalow-style nightclubs, and sultry days on the beach.

We’re paying homage to this French Caribbean oasis by rounding up our favorite designers whose names are synonymous with tropical glamour including Johanna Ortiz, Cult Gaia, and Andrés Otálora whose designs are always inspired by the natural landscapes of his home country, Colombia. Embrace the spirit of St. Barths through these tropical treasures and prepare for an evening soiree like no other.

We are swooning over Cult Gaia's Resort '24 collection, 'Under the Sun', a celebration inspired by sun-soaked days in St. Tropez (speaking of French glamour). The Coquillage-inspired top paired with this metallic plissé column skirt creates a perfect ensemble for La Guérite dancing and late-night fétes.

Capturing the essence of a tropical paradise, the Florencia top by Andrés Otálora is a floral sculpture masterpiece. Wear it with a pair of silk pants for a polished chic look.
