Looks from the resort collections of (from left) Bottega Veneta, Derek Lam and Michael Kors.
Numerous resort shows — including Derek Lam, Bottega Veneta and Michael Kors — made use of bold, 1920s-inspired color blocking in unexpected earth tones on easy day-wear pieces. The result was sporty elegance, with a hint of urban safari.

This Saturday, a little over a year after introducing its namesake signature fragrance — a combination of rhubarb and Madagascar vetiver — the Greenwich Village boutique-turned-perfumer Aedes de Venustas will release its much-anticipated follow-up. Teaming up this time with the German perfumer Ralf Schwieger, whose clients include the likes of Frédéric Malle and Hermès, the brand’s co-owners Karl Bradl and Robert Gerstner attempted to capture the essence of a rare flower to create the unisex aroma Iris Nazarena. “The inspiration was an iris that grows only in the mountains of Nazareth,” said Bradl, who discovered the species through art on a postcard. “It is a protected wildflower, so we could not harvest or remove the flower.” What’s more, iris flowers don’t actually have a scent — typically, only their roots do — so the team had to get creative. The fragrance they created, according to Bradl, is inspired by the “color, texture and pattern of the blossom.” The result is decidedly not floral. Instead, the eau de parfum has a powdery quality, with musky hints of clove and star anise, evoking burning incense — a signature note in the olfactory repertory of Aedes de Venustas, whose house line includes a scented room spray and candles. The effect is like a visit to an officers’ club from a bygone era, all smoky wood, aged leather and classic men’s cologne.
Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena Eau de Parfum ($245) will be available June 15 but is available now for preorder; aedes.com.
