What happens when Milan’s most joyous fashion brand teams up with Britain’s chicest summer style experts? Magic, that’s what. After meeting at a party in the English countryside, J.J. Martin, founder of La DoubleJ, and Adam Brown, founder of Orlebar Brown, combined their creative energies to answer the age-old question: “What should I wear on vacation?” The result is a 34-piece summer capsule collection for both men and women.

This collection includes swimwear and effortlessly elegant clothing, available in three dazzling prints featuring a palette of red, white, and blue. Blending La DoubleJ’s feminine exuberance with Orlebar Brown’s sophisticated, masculine silhouettes, every piece in the line is designed to make your summer vacation perfect.

“This collection came about from a fortuitous meeting: OB wanted to add a bit of zing to their prints while we at LDJ wanted to absorb some of that timeless elegance they are so well known for. Even though it might traditionally seem like a ‘male’ and ‘female’ collection fused into one, all pieces are truly genderless, meant to be borrowed from your partner’s or best friend’s closet while you’re vacationing together. This is a true marriage of energy and aesthetics,” says J.J. Martin.

“I fell in love with La DoubleJ when I met J.J. Martin a few years ago. Her aesthetic is contagiously cheerful and vibrant – the ultimate manifestation of our mantra ‘Feel Summer.’ This collection creates a superb fusion of both brands, taking them into new realms. No rules. No constraints. With love and a sense of joy,” adds Adam Brown.

Infused with relaxed luxury that evokes Mediterranean adventures, the collection is designed to transition seamlessly from the airplane to the poolside to evening aperitifs. Think of dresses that graze the sand like the “Viviana” model made from the finest Italian cotton, or the airy and oversized “Better than Your Boyfriend’s Shirt” top, or the “Maitan” shirt and swimsuits that flatter the figure like the “Daquiri” swimsuit and the tailored “Bulldog” swim shorts that also double as a top and shorts.

Each of the three exclusive prints in this collection has been designed by La DoubleJ and inspired by divine energies for a mood-enhancing visual harmony: “Dragonflower,” a reinterpretation of an iconic LDJ print, symbolizes the harmonious fusion of strength and beauty; “Morpheus,” a romantic ode to the god of dreams; and “Whitsun,” a beautiful botanical inspired by the king of flowers, featuring symbols of compassion, healing, and immortality.
