New In: Summi Summi Reverie — A Collection for the Modern Dreamer

There are collections that dress you, and then there are collections that transport you. Summi Summi's SS26 Reverie sits firmly in the second category — a considered edit of fluid fabrics, botanical artworks and easy tailoring that doesn't ask where you're going, only that you take it with you.

The collection is built around two distinct stories. The first is Phoria: an exclusive print created from a digitally manipulated photograph of translucent nasturtium leaves, rendered by Summi Summi's in-house textile designer into an artwork that exists somewhere between botanical illustration and abstract painting. Celestial purples, dusty mauves and deep blue-green wash across the leaves in overlapping planes, the source photograph made dreamlike through manipulation. The second story is Petal — a soft, warm blush cupro-rayon suiting that grounds the collection in something quieter and more tactile. Threading through both is the Aperol Stripe knit polo: the everyday piece that earns its place in the same wardrobe as the rest.

Summi Summi is an Australian-designed label with a specific point of view. Their pieces are made for travel, for occasions, for the kind of week where your days and evenings blend into one long unhurried stretch. Capsule I of SS26 Reverie has just arrived at Roze & Thorn, and it's exactly that.

The Print Story: Phoria

The Phoria print is the centrepiece of this collection, and it spans three pieces — a maxi slip dress, an asymmetric mesh top, and a pencil-fit midi skirt — that work together as a print story or separately as individual pieces.

Maxi Slip Dress — Phoria

The Maxi Slip Dress is the headline. Floor-length, boatneck, cut in a double-layered 96% polyester, 4% spandex mesh that skims the body and moves with every step. The Phoria print covers the full length of the dress — those nasturtium leaves in their celestial palette spanning from shoulder to hem, the dual-layer construction giving the print depth and the wearer coverage without weight.

This is a dress for destination weddings, for sunset dinners, for the kind of occasion that calls for something that looks like effort but wears like nothing. It packs flat, arrives without creasing, and photographs in a way that has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with how well this print was designed.

Asym Dahlia Top — Phoria

The Asym Dahlia Top is the sculptural piece of the Phoria edit. Where the slip dress is clean and linear, the Dahlia is architectural: a sheer, lightweight mesh top with an asymmetric hemline and flared sleeves that fan out as the fabric moves. The same Phoria artwork runs across the surface in all its botanical detail, here on a single sheer layer that's designed to be worn over something — the slip dress below, a simple bodysuit, a fitted camisole — rather than alone.

The asymmetric cut is the design moment. It creates an intentionally uneven hem that elevates the top from a printed layering piece into something with a clear aesthetic point of view. Styled over the Maxi Slip Dress for a full Phoria look, the two pieces together read as a complete outfit rather than a mismatch — the same print, two different constructions, layered beautifully.

Summi Skirt — Phoria

The Summi Skirt brings the Phoria print into a wearable, everyday silhouette: a stretchy pencil-fit midi in double-layered mesh that holds its shape, moves freely and can be styled across a wider range of occasions than either the dress or the top. The stretchy construction means it travels without complaint and sits comfortably at all the stated sizes, while the midi length hits at the most flattering point between knee and calf.

On its own with a simple tank or tee, the print carries the entire look. Paired with the Asym Dahlia Top for a three-quarter length co-ord, the Summi Skirt becomes the base of the most editorial outfit in this delivery.

The Tailoring Story: Petal

Sig LS Shirt — Petal

The Sig LS Shirt anchors the Petal side of the collection. An oversized long sleeve shirt in a 55% cupro, 45% rayon blend in a warm, dusty petal pink — the colourway that gives this sub-range its name. Cupro has a silk-like handle without the fragility of silk: it drapes cleanly, it breathes, and it falls from the shoulder in the kind of fluid way that only a fabric with genuine weight and movement can achieve.

The custom Summi Summi trim at the collar and cuffs is the signature detail. A button-through front means this works open as a layer, closed as a top, or tucked into the Sig Suit Short below for the full petal suit moment. At $299, it's the piece that gives you multiple outfits in one.

Sig Suit Short — Petal

The Sig Suit Short completes the Petal suit, and it's the reason the shirt is priced the way it is. A tailored cupro-rayon short in the same petal pink — 60% cupro, 40% rayon — with a relaxed silhouette that balances the overshirt's volume. The custom mauve trim at the waistband and hem ties the set together with a quiet sophistication, and the functional pockets are built into a piece that genuinely deserves them.

Worn as a suit, this is Capsule I's most complete look. Worn separately — the short with a white tank, the shirt over linen trousers — both pieces carry their own weight.

The Everyday Piece: Stripe LS Polo — Aperol Stripe

Every collection needs a piece for the days in between occasions, and in Reverie Capsule I, that's the Stripe LS Polo. A fine 16-gauge 100% organic cotton polo in the Aperol Stripe colourway — warm burnt orange and terracotta running in a relaxed stripe that reads summery and sun-faded without trying.

The 16GG knit is tightly constructed for a clean, smooth surface with good drape; the collar holds its shape through wear; and the relaxed fit means it works across a range of body types at the stated sizes. Tuck it into linen trousers for an Italian holiday lunch, wear it open over board shorts at the beach, or use it to ground a Phoria or Petal piece from the same collection when you want warmth and weight without formality.
