Artistic Installation in the Showroom
At the center of the Rosetta Getty showroom located in Tribeca, an aquarium pool enveloped in white mist captured attention, accompanied by a small ethereal room nearby that housed a glass sculpture set atop metal rods. This installation was created by artist Hayden Dunham. Getty described it, saying, “The whole premise is about healing and regeneration.” She highlighted the pool filled with hyacinths and lilies, which emit herbal fragrances that purify and detoxify the air. Getty also noted Dunham’s experience with a fire in Los Angeles, which influenced this artistic vision.
Collaboration on the Collection
Getty and Dunham collaborated on the collection for this season, focusing on the trend of balancing “various levels of satin and sparkle comfort.” The use of rich satin presented a chic and modern aesthetic. Among the standout pieces were a hexagonal skirt and a tracksuit, which featured a Bruson-style jacket and wide-leg pants.
Emphasis on Beauty and Functionality
Getty expressed the current desire for beauty and uniqueness, stating, “We want to feel beautiful, we want to look special, so it seems appropriate for now, but we’re running too, so it needs to work.” This reflects the balance between elegance and practicality in the collection’s design.
Feminine Touches in Design
The use of lighter satin in the slip dresses, enhanced with lace trims, introduced a more feminine aspect than what is typical for Getty’s designs. She reflected on this evolution, commenting, “It feels like we’ve found our own path in the race, because it was a kind of love/hate relationship.”
Bauhaus-Inspired Print
The only splash of color in the season’s collection came from a Bauhaus-inspired print amidst an otherwise neutral palette. This design choice provided a sense of lightness and whimsy that contributed to the overall feel of the collection.
Season’s Aesthetic Identity
The collection distinctly highlighted the intersection of art and fashion, with elements that emphasized both emotional depth and visual appeal. The collaboration between Getty and Dunham added a unique narrative to the seasonal offerings.
Conclusion
In summary, the installation by Hayden Dunham and the collaborative work between Getty and Dunham have resulted in a collection that speaks to a contemporary audience’s desire for beauty, comfort, and an emotional connection to the art of fashion.
