Frederick Anderson Resort 2026

Frederick Anderson was his usual affable, exuberant self during a morning visit to his Manhattan studio and boutique. “But I’m not in a celebratory mood,” he said, explaining that his tempered approach to resort 2025 comes down to “this kind of malaise we have to deal with” amidst the current political landscape in the States. “Still, we need to feel like we’re moving on and living our lives.” That frame of mind led to a collection heavy on Fredrick’s signatures—lace, ruffles, and lots of black—but without the ornate embellishments that have marked previous outings. Anderson tried his hand at nontraditional textile pairings for a number of black and white dresses, among them a boatneck gown with black lace spanning the décolletage and slinky bodice in white jersey. Another features an empire silhouette with a black beaded V-neck affixed to boho-esque, vine-embroidered tulle.
