The Veronica Beard x Pauline de Roussy de Sales capsule offers a stunning, ten-piece assortment. Full-bleed artwork appears on items such as the Vonette Top, Fynnley Placket Skirt, and Beasley Pareo. Graphic options include the [Carla Slub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-taps-thomas-llu) [Tee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaolu-slawn-1). The Spruce Top and Elijah Denim Short captivate with custom detailing, while the swimwear features pool-inspired motifs from the Paradisa and Solara styles. All of these silhouettes bring the artist's narrative-driven works to life across multiple garment types.
