For Cult Gaia’s 10th anniversary, Jasmin Larian took her collection on the road to the Las Pozas sculpture garden in Xilitla, Mexico. She chose the surreal scene, she explained over Zoom, in service of her goddess message: She wanted to hammer home the Gaia vibes and the importance of returning to nature in her work. The Cult Gaia customer will be returning to real life with this collection too, and Larian has plenty of sensual, revealing things for her to wear.
Suspended slip dresses that dangle from curved metal accessories and cut-out floral swimsuits are the best pieces from Larian’s resort lineup—and in the Cult Gaia world they live in harmony not opposition. She reported that earlier this month she got texts from friends who wore the swimsuit cover-ups to attend a wedding. Maybe the slips will find their way to the beach? Blurring the line between dressed-up and dressed-down is becoming more common but for events that require a bit a polish, she’s expanding into raffia trenches and bijoux-style clutches.
