I try to live in rhythm with the seasons. Winter was a time of heads-down work—building, focusing, turning inward. Spring marked a reemergence: color, growth, new life. And now summer? Summer is for lightness. For play. For flirting with the world again.
As I step into my 30s and begin dating again, I’m rediscovering the joy of being seen—boldly, unapologetically, and proudly as myself. This collection is rooted in that energy. That sense of glow. That heat in the air. That buzz of a romantic summer night under the stars. I designed these pieces to move with you—on long, meandering walks, spontaneous escapes, or the small, everyday moments that just feel better in the sunshine.

The Prints
Summer ‘25 brings a mix of bold and moody prints — saturated reds, inky blacks, lush greens, and electric cobalt — designed to reflect the energy of the season. Each print has a rhythm of its own. They're expressive without being loud. Easy to wear, hard to ignore.

The Fabric
Fabric is everything in summer. We chose breathable cottons and airy linen blends that keep you cool and feel great against your skin. These are pieces that are meant to be lived in — from hot walks to cold drinks and everything in between.

The Silhouettes
Summer ‘25 introduces fresh silhouettes (hello sets!), reimagined classics from our earliest seasons, and of course—signature favorites you’ll reach for on repeat. Perfect for sun-drenched days and romantic summer nights.
This summer I’m letting myself enjoy slower mornings. Late sunsets. Romance. Flowers on the kitchen counter, just because. Hosting. Shorter work days. Eating out more than usual.
It’s been joyful—and also a little uncomfortable.
After years of building Mixed from the ground up—learning how to be a designer, founder, leader—I’ve gotten used to living in a state of hypervigilance. For so long, survival mode felt like the only mode. And even now, with the business on steadier ground, that muscle memory is hard to unlearn. There’s still a part of me that braces for things to fall apart. That worries if I loosen my grip, everything might unravel. That if I stay in this lighter season too long, I’ll lose momentum.
But growth isn’t linear—it’s cyclical and layered. One thing I love about designing seasonal collections is that they mark time in such a tangible way. Each one feels like a new chapter, a new lesson, a new lens. And just like not every collection is my strongest, not every season of life is my most productive—but each one still has something to offer.
This season, I’m reminding myself that there is a very real place for play, fun, and laughter. Living in seasons means trusting that different rhythms serve different purposes. The season of heads-down hustle taught me how to build. This one is teaching me how to enjoy. How to be present to the life I once only dreamed of.
