Retailer Banana Republic recently announced they would be teaming up with Milly designer Michelle Smith to create a Hamptons-inspired collection for summer.
Smith is known for her preppy, yet easygoing fashion aesthetic, as well as her love for bright colors and patterns, all of which will be represented in her lower-priced capsule collection for BR.
According to WWD, the 60-piece collection will include both men’s and women’s apparel and accessories, with prices ranging from $45-$175 for women’s clothing, $25-$65 for menswear, and $40-$130 for jewelry and accessories. The limited-edition collection is set to launch online and at select Banana Republic stores worldwide starting in May.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this. For me at least, a big part of the appeal of Milly is that most of the line is made in the US, because their aesthetic itself is not particularly unique. But generally these sorts of collections sacrifice that for the sake of the lower price point. It’ll be interesting to see, but I’m not sure if I’ll go for this one or not.
