Retro Bloom: A Journey to Timeless Elegance

An Upcycling Collection for LoveShackFancy

Retro Bloom transports you to a sunlit garden party of decades past — where vintage romance mingles with sustainability, and every petal tells a story. This imagined capsule for LoveShackFancy reimagines archival floral prints, antique laces, and heirloom-inspired silhouettes through a modern, conscious lens.

At the heart of Retro Bloom lies the ethos of upcycling — giving new life to discarded fabrics, trims, and notions. Patchwork construction, heirloom smocking, and mixed-media panels lend each piece a hand-touched quality, like a garment stitched from memory. The silhouettes nod to the past: corseted bodices, tiered skirts, and puffed sleeves exude femininity, while structured rompers and halter dresses bring in youthful energy.

The palette is drawn from nature’s faded blooms — dusty rose, antique mauve, honeyed amber, and petal-soft cream — evoking pressed flowers preserved in time. Prints range from dainty violets to climbing roses and folkloric lace motifs, echoing the tender nostalgia of vintage linens and love letters.

More than just a collection, Retro Bloom is a love letter to heritage craft, mindful making, and the timeless beauty of femininity in full bloom.
