Alessandra Rich has launched an exclusive summer capsule collection with Net-a-Porter, designed to embody the spirit of sunlit soirées and stylish mischief. The 15-piece edit arrives just in time for London’s peak party season, including the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, Royal Ascot, and the Serpentine soiree.
The collection features romantic cotton and silk dresses in airy floral prints -- unmistakably Rich -- styled for all-day wearability, from champagne brunch to twilight garden parties. 'This capsule celebrates femininity with a modern twist of glamour,' said Alessandra Rich, whose signature aesthetic blends vintage charm with contemporary edge.
Net-a-Porter fashion director Kay Barron noted that Rich's collections 'continue to perform exceptionally well,' citing her silk dresses as top sellers and favorites among EIP clients of all ages. With the Princess of Wales frequently seen in her designs, Rich’s appeal spans from royal gardens to VIP wardrobes.
