The operating word at 6397 last season was hard. There was a toughness to the spring lineup, and, as Stella Ishii and her lead designer Lizzie Owens admitted at a preview of their resort collection, a certain youthfulness. In an effort to cast both a wider net and to give themselves room for exploration, the pair was after softness and a sense of maturity this season. Owens’s presence at 6397 has been a boon for Ishii in that it has made their collections more introspective, and given them more gravitas. Ishii is an industry veteran and a beloved mentor, but she’s not fond of producing autobiographical or self-referential work past looking at the vintage pieces in her wardrobe. Together, they’ve put together a collection of simple yet desirable pieces.
