Leave it to Melissa Odabash—London-based designer, former model, and queen of jet set chic—to celebrate 25 fabulous years of her namesake brand with the kind of show that has us already booking flights to Capri.

This past weekend in Manhattan, Odabash was featured in NYFW Shows powered by Miami Swim Week®, where she transported guests to a Mediterranean escape. Picture this: 360° LED projections of the Amalfi Coast wrapping around the venue, a dazzling walk down memory lane with 25 years of glossy magazine covers, and a runway full of bronzed goddesses strutting looks that whispered (okay, shouted): “Take me from the beach to the bar, and don’t forget the rosé!”

Resort Wear That Actually Lives Up to the Hype

The Spring/Summer 2026 Collection was pure practical glamour—that magical sweet spot where your beach cover-up doubles as your dinner outfit, and your swimsuit is just as ready for a dip as it is for a late-night dance on tables in St. Barth. (Yes, we said it. Optional, but encouraged.)

Favorite runway moments:

• Tailored linen pant-and-button-down sets, cinched just right at the waist.

• Flirty rompers that are as flattering as they are effortless.

• Sheer kaftans floating over bikinis like a sea breeze.

• One-shoulder jumpsuits and translucent pant sets that scream, “I’m not just on vacation, I am the vacation.”

The color palette includes a chic mix of timeless neutrals (black, white, off-white), a dash of dark denim, and the sweetest blush pinks—basically the kind of palette that works just as well for brunch in the Hamptons as it does for Aperol spritz o’clock on the Amalfi.

Details, Details, Details

Melissa knows it’s all in the craftsmanship:

• Crochet, lace, knits, and linens with just the right amount of sparkle.

• Signature lacework—think dresses and co-ords styled over swimsuits.

• Ethereal touches—cottons dusted with silver shimmer.

• Versatile silhouettes—bohemian skirts, après-beach luxe dresses, and coral-inspired prints you’ll want to pack yesterday.

25 Years of Jet Set Dreams

From supermodels to socialites, Odabash has been dressing the world’s most stylish women for decades, and her 25th anniversary show was the perfect reminder why: she makes resort wear you actually want to live in.

With the Spring/Summer 2026 Collection, Melissa Odabash proves once again that glamour doesn’t have to be impractical—it just has to come with a side of wanderlust.
