At a recent appointment at Rosetta Getty’s Tribeca studio, the designer wore a look straight from the spring collection (look 11 if you are curious). Although she has intimate knowledge of what her customer wants and she designs for that woman, there is, of course, quite a bit of herself in her clothes. “Everything is very light this season because this summer I couldn’t wear any of my clothes,” Getty said. “It was too hot.” And so the highlight of the collection was the way Getty reworked her wardrobe staples to fit into an increasingly hotter world. A long sleeve organic cotton viscose ribbed knit maxi dress in the palest shade of lime was whisper-thin, as was the voile jacquard done in a peach floral fabric that was was very “easy luxury.” Getty also showed an oversized button down with matching pleated wide leg trousers and a tank with a twisted neckline—a signature detail for the season.
She continued to expand the denim category with a dark wash three-piece suit with gold buttons, as well as a long trench coat which she showed over a cool “wavy plaid” printed polo T-shirt dress made from cotton jersey. Similarly, she brought a new silhouette to her go-to plongé leather pieces: a high-waist pleated wide leg trouser that she showed with a cropped collarless jacket in a gorgeous shade of sky blue. “We’re known for our wrapping and tied pieces,” Getty said, and this season she brought the design element to a suit jacket made from a plaid jacquard interlock jersey, which brought a fresh take to her beloved three-piece suit silhouette. The subtly printed pieces mimic the former AT&T building in downtown Manhattan, a brutalist structure that was also the site of the lookbook shoot, photographed by Kristie Muller.
For evening, Getty’s signature sequined pieces got a makeover in a new fabrication of pleated mesh. A jacket, matching bustier, and palazzo pants were fresh in lime green, and a minimalist slip dress in white was just the right thing to reach for on hot summer nights.
