If your next summer vacation plans include exploring Italy—whether it’s the charm of Venice, the beauty of Ravello and the Amalfi Coast, or the rugged allure of Pantelleria—LaDoubleJ has your wardrobe covered. As JJ Martin puts it, they’ll have you styled “from espresso in the piazza to aperitivo in the palazzo.” The “vibration-raising” pre-fall wardrobe offered, as usual, an expansive range of versatile day-to-night pieces with relaxed, flattering silhouettes, all made from light, airy fabrics. Martin played on a more pared-down, youthful vibe, swapping the abundance of ruffles for macramé lace in subtle hues, introducing solid colors for layering, and adding simple linen corduroy pajama sets with a masculine touch for variety. Textures such as terry cloth, crochet, windowpane lace, embroidered denim, and jacquard matelassé provided a contrast to the play on imaginative patterns that is at the energetic core of LDJ. “They’re the life force of the brand,” remarked Martin. However, this season she appeared to embrace a mood of (mild) simplification.
