Spring/Summer 2021

Look 1 - I love the rib knit fabric in this dress, The very deep neckline that can easily fall off of one shoulder gives the dress a sexy silhouette. I love the puffy sleeves and the calf length of the skirt. The dress looks super cozy and super elegant.

Look 2 - I love the color of this outfit and the texture difference between the shirt and the skirt. The belt and the shoes both being black I think work really well with this soft pumpkin color. The Skirt looks like a crepe fabric, the top looks like a horizontal rib knit. I love this puff sleeves on the shirt, very different from the puff sleeves on the first look, these sleeves are puffy by the shoulder and taper to a tight fitting shirt, whereas the first look was more fitted at the shoulder and then got puffier at the bottom of the sleeve.

Look 3 - This rib knit must have been a big theme in her collection for next season. This shirt also resembles how the first dress is worn, off one shoulder. The Coral pants are a great pop of color and really fit the spring/summer season, while rib knit is typically more of a fall/winter textile Mara Hoffman used it a lot in this collection.

Look 4 - Swimsuits is what I've always known Mara Hoffman for, I love the print of this swimsuit, and the high cut on the thighs, I wish I saw this print more on other pieces in the collection. I also love how she didn't have a runway show, instead she took these very cool on location shots of the models in her outfits and presented them in a collage.
