Since we've covered some of my faves from the Lefkada collection. I figured this week I would rave about my top two picks from Historic New York's Spring/Summer 2017 Lalibela collection.

Both the Epipaleolithic Dress and the Mesolithic Dress from this bohemian inspired collection feature hand crochet detailing. Think less so the scarf grandma knitted you for your birthday and more high fashion. Both pieces are convertible and come with a detachable slip underneath. And just like that, you can wear it as the cutest beach cover up. 

Colour blocking is used to break up the knit detail; the Epipaleolithic Dress in particular reminds me of the famous work of artist Piet Mondrian. The perfect twist on a summer classic if you ask me! The ivory bone neck trim on both dresses and the jacquard pattern of the Mesolithic Dress are just some of the details contained in this East African Middle Stone Age inspired collection. 

The Gademotta Formation in the Main Ethiopian Rift Valley is over 279,000 years old and is known for its rich archaeological sites. Some of the oldest published during this time period in Eastern Africa. So, how do you extract inspiration from such a thing? Well, since this is Historic New York, we thought it only appropriate to give you the Epipaleolithic Dress and the Mesolithic Dress.

Your summer staples make with modern statement and owing to the beauty of the past, all at Historic New York.
