ASCENO collaborates with art director and style curator, Alexis Foreman to create the perfect minimalist vacation capsule wardrobe for summer.
The 12-piece collection weaves ASCENO’s signature refined simplicity with a nod to Alexis’s contemporary style, rooted in a shared appreciation for timeless silhouettes and a considered palette of neutral tones. Created to travel effortlessly and be worn season after season, each piece has been designed with versatility and longevity in mind.
Inspired by Alexis’s distinctive approach to dressing, the collection reflects a desire for uncomplicated pieces that feel both elevated and instinctive to wear. Created in consciously sourced fabrics, the collection balances functionality with quiet sophistication, offering a wardrobe that transitions seamlessly from everyday moments to time away.
“I’ve always been drawn to a pared-back approach in the way I dress. I gravitate towards pieces that feel effortless, versatile and enduring, and that work just as well at home as they do when travelling abroad.” says Alexis Foreman.
The collection reimagines a selection of signature ASCENO pieces, including the oversized silk twill shirt and drawstring trouser, now updated with subtle cinched-hem detailing, designed to be worn together or separately. Organic cotton silk tunics with a deep v-neck and wide cuff detailing have been created in monochrome tones and embody a sense of effortless simplicity, intended to be layered over matching trousers or worn over swimwear.
Completing the collection is a silk twill head scarf in rich espresso brown and a black silk cotton pareo, offering easy but elevated beachside staples.
“Alexis has a natural affinity with the ASCENO woman and the way she chooses to dress while travelling,” says ASCENO Founder, Poppy Sexton-Wainwright. “Her aesthetic is thoughtful and understated, remaining consistent regardless of destination. Together, we wanted to create pieces that feel timeless, versatile, and effortless to wear.”
