THE PRINT
Great Crested Flycatcher
The Great Crested Flycatcher is loud and alert in public spaces, but nests in deep, hidden places. It has been a symbol of balancing presence and retreat, a good reminder that true refuge is something we carry within.

Print: Sage Green, Moss Green, Chartreuse, Olive, Tan, Sand, Rust, Dark Plum, Maroon, Soft Blush, Ivory, Dark Brown, Charcoal
Sash: Charcoal, Ivory, Olive, Rust, Pale Mint

THE STORY
Crisp yet fluid, our Racer Pankou Dress balances sharp detail with soft movement. Defined by its soft, wide collar and anchored by a row of pankou fastenings, the silhouette draws from tradition but resists nostalgia. The bodice cuts clean along the shoulders and flares out to a wide A-line that drapes with graceful weight. A contrast ribbon belt cinches the shape without fuss, while the airy fabrication and botanical print lend it depth.

For Work
For the office, temper the softness with a tailored vest or lightweight summer blazer and finish with low mules or pointed flats. The collar sits beautifully under a jacket, offering just enough detail without overpowering.

For Night Out
For evening, lean into its elegance with a sleek updo, structured heels and a dark lip. Remove the belt or replace it with something metallic to shift the tone.

For Weekends
On the weekend, let it breathe. Wear it loose with sandals, an oversized tote and simple accessories.
