sacred river
Sunlight dances off the surface of a winding river casting cerulean glow across rocks and lush vegetation. The river current brings a sense of rebirth, a cleansing of the soul and a chance to begin anew. Rivulets of water inspire designs meant for movement and breathability while diaphanous fabrications welcome the summer heat.
The Palette
Pacific Coast Blue is introduced alongside creamy pistachio and Dark Sea Green, a cooling contrast back to Warm Terracotta and peach. Crushed eggplant adds a moody level of saturation while new fennel leaf replaces Gauntlet Gray and balances the overall intensity alongside continued neutrals.
Print & Pattern
Print & pattern reflect the fluid, transient flow of water while pulling inspiration from the natural surroundings. Lush junglescapes and vibrant vegetation appear in abstract and repeat artwork with foggy filters adding an additional level of dimension.
Outfitting
Floating translucents and open knit tops create levels of dimension and fluidity during high summer. The capri re-emerges as a staple bottom back to bras as well as the novelty tube top. Towel terry sets are reimagined in elevated and streamlined styles that speak to bohemian minimalism and elegance.

SOFT FASCINATION — In a multi-crisis world overwhelmed by extremes, an ethereal sentiment emerges both radical and powerful in its simplicity. ‘Soft fascination’, the appreciation for everyday moments of awe, gives us permission to hit pause, to dream, and to cultivate joy from the natural beauty of everyday life. In Hindu this concept is known as Hawa Khaana, literally translating into ‘eating air’. In Dutch it’s Niksen: the art of doing nothing. The desire for stillness is a concept that transcends cultural borders yet is just now beginning to take shape in the United States. As consumers continue to prioritize mental wellbeing, Calia will look to cultivate a sense of mindfulness through soft hues, cascading fabrics, and fluid designs enveloping the wearer in a sense of gentle strength. This sentiment gives Calia an opportunity to develop a new fabric platform that focuses on softness, fluidity, and bodywear stretch in lighter weights perfect for the spring timeframe. Expand upon the scuba assortment with the introduction of the Sandwash fabrication as well as the new, ultra-light development that can update the Inspire platform. Brands like Skin Worldwide are making a name for themselves by offering mindfully crafted lingerie + essentials in super soft, skin friendly fabrications. Other successful examples include SKIMs “Fits everybody” fabrication franchise, and Lululemon’s newly launched Wundermost collection – a bodywear collection featuring their Ultra Soft Nulu fabric in silhouettes with gentle hold and just enough stretch creating a fit that feels made for you.
