LoveShackFancy Summer Travel Style

PetitePaulina – For Rebecca Hessel Cohen, the LoveShackFancy client doesn’t simply travel for summer she glides through the world with romance stitched into every step. “Her passport is pink,” Cohen says, a poetic phrase that captures more than color, but attitude. This woman moves effortlessly between destinations, carrying nostalgia, femininity, and freedom wherever she goes. She is curious, expressive, and always dressed for a story waiting to unfold. Summer travel, in this universe, isn’t about packing light; it’s about packing emotion. Each destination becomes a backdrop for self-expression, whether it’s a seaside breakfast or a midnight dance floor. Cohen frames her as a modern muse well-traveled, confident, and unapologetically dreamy someone who doesn’t follow trends but carries her own world in her suitcase.

From Country Clubs to Ibiza Nights

The pre-fall 2026 collection reads like a visual travel diary, stitched together from moments across continents. Cohen draws inspiration from country club afternoons, sun-washed coastlines, and the electric energy of late nights in Ibiza. These contrasting worlds meet in silhouettes that feel relaxed yet deliberate, playful yet sensual. Crochet textures echo beach escapes, while sunset hues recall golden hours that stretch endlessly. Florals bloom with a carefree confidence, suggesting mornings that begin without alarms. Through this collection, travel becomes fluid one outfit transitions seamlessly from a daytime stroll to an after-dark adventure. The LoveShackFancy woman doesn’t choose between elegance and fun; she embodies both. Each look feels like a memory captured mid-movement, reflecting a life lived between destinations, not anchored to just one.

The Rise of the ‘Global Goddess’ Persona

At the heart of the collection is what Cohen calls the “global goddess,” a character inspired by ’90s Charlotte Gainsbourg and a playful “little miss heiress” fantasy. She is glamorous without trying, grounded yet indulgent. This persona travels often, not to escape, but to collect experiences. Her style feels inherited rather than purchased, layered with references that hint at old money charm and bohemian ease. She embraces sensuality with confidence, choosing softness over sharpness and romance over restraint. In this narrative, clothing becomes armor for adventure pieces that empower movement while celebrating femininity. The global goddess isn’t loud, but she is unforgettable. She leaves traces of herself in every city, not through excess, but through presence.

Preppy Americana with a Wanderer’s Twist

Cohen grounds her global fantasy with a strong preppy undercurrent, reimagined through LoveShackFancy’s signature lens. Knitwear plays a starring role, featuring cherry-embroidered sweater sets, tennis-inspired silhouettes, and patchwork designs in red, white, and blue. These Americana nods feel familiar yet refreshed, like souvenirs from a stylish summer abroad. Cable-knit sweaters paired with matching shorts blur the line between leisurewear and statement dressing. The introduction of piqué cotton and subtle LSF logos adds texture and identity without overpowering the look. This is prep school nostalgia filtered through travel clothes that feel at home on a yacht deck or a café terrace. It’s a reminder that even classic styles can evolve when viewed through a global lens.

Romantic Dresses Made for Movement

Dresses remain the emotional core of LoveShackFancy, and this season Cohen elevates them with richer embroideries and amplified shades of pink. One standout reimagines the original LoveShackFancy dress she once designed for her bridesmaids, now infused with the spirit of travel and independence. Slip dresses inspired by rare 1930s finds move fluidly on the body, designed to catch light and attention with ease. There’s a playful nod to “Malibu sunset Barbie,” imagined dancing through Ibiza in soft, glowing hues. These dresses don’t demand a destination; they create one. Each piece feels like an invitation to move freely, to wander, and to let summer unfold naturally around you.

Expanding the LoveShackFancy Universe

Beyond clothing, LoveShackFancy continues to expand its world, mirroring the adventurous spirit of its customer. A new capsule collection will debut alongside two fragrance launches, unified by the same signature print a sensory extension of the brand’s romantic identity. Cohen is also preparing to open a store in London’s Chelsea neighborhood, targeting a new generation of cool, fashion-curious women. This move signals growth without dilution, keeping storytelling at the center. For LoveShackFancy, expansion isn’t about scale alone, but connection. Each new touchpoint scent, space, or silhouette invites the customer deeper into the narrative. Like the woman it dresses, the brand keeps moving forward, collecting stories across borders.
