Alexandra O’Neill’s lineup of resorts for Markarian is a series of choices that fit the definition of “recreation” for her shoppers. With her usual cocktail-ready holiday choices, these festive décor is decorated with sweet velvet and finished in glittering damask, her style is designed for a real reddish day, meaning she calls them in the preview, “transition and extends life throughout the season.”
O’Neill knows how to make a good party dress. There are a lot of women in New York – many editors in this magazine – she would be happy to confirm this. However, this look book provides enough evidence: a coquette-ish lrd in velvet (a natural red dress) is outstanding, as is the black floor sheath, but it looks expensive at the front but reveals a low tie and train at the back. Her usual tea length choice is still mouth-watering and is a real crowd-pleasing choice, though it’s great to see O’Neill enter more niche territory with more fun alternatives like the Black Cash Tassel Moment.
O’Neal has also been working hard to define the appearance of Markarian Daywear. Here she uses a series of silky, sparse, simple dresses and a range of knitwear. The former is more successful – they cover the same elegance that defines her evening outfit.
This season’s Through Line is a beautiful bouquet of flowers that are made of a lot of fabrication and implementation. The reason behind this is O’Neill’s desire for warm weather while working in this lineup in the winter. She watched Apple TV+ Show Palm RoyalIt’s totally ridiculous, but good, she said. “The show may have inspired the warmth and leaves in the series, but it also looks weird: a dress made of tons of light blue sequin circles that are decorated with pink embroidery around them – they look like bubbles or even snowballs. Stylish and candid but perfectly fit, it’s the perfect party spot between O’Neill’s winter vacation and summer pairing.
