St. John Resort 2022
St. John creative director Zoe Turner is on a roll.
In less than two years, the British-born knitwear specialist, whose CV includes stints at Max Mara, Alberta Ferretti, Dior under John Galliano and Raf Simons, has given the sleepy SoCal tweed suit brand real fashion currency.
Bra tops and bike shorts from St. John? You betcha. For resort, Turner pushed the idea of more casual separates in the luxe house tweeds, adding stretch to create body-con sizzle with a side of 1980s/’90s nostalgia.
“As much as it’s about celebrating our loyal customer, it’s about welcoming the new as well,” said Turner, describing the collection as being about freedom, movement and positive energy.
St. John has already garnered the attention of celebs, even during the pandemic, with Alicia Keys, Ruby Rose and Busy Philipps recently wearing the label. And resort’s sandy tweed bodysuit with gold buttons should be a Hollywood and editorial star. (There are other versions in the collection without the hardware that can be layered under cropped jackets and worn with jeans.)
