SO2
SO2 presents Meiling SS’26 collection Isle, a love letter, per designer Meiling Esau, to the rhythm of island life: Unhurried, instinctive, and always in flow.
“It imagines a woman who moves with ease, who lets the day carry her from sunlit mornings into twilight without resistance. Her joy isn’t something she chases; it’s a quiet presence, reflected in the lightness of her step and in the way her wardrobe moves with her.
The collection draws on the spirit of nature as experienced in the haze of the Caribbean. The warmth of late afternoon, the stillness of a meadow, the playfulness of a breeze: These are the feelings stitched into each piece. There is softness here, even whimsy, but always balanced by a subtle structure that grounds it, an ease that never loses its form,” she shares.
