Kate Barton is bringing her Spring 2027 collection east. The emerging designer built the lineup around illusion prints, the kind of trompe l'oeil trick that asks a fabric to look like something it is not. It is a technique that rewards a closer look, and the Hamptons crowd tends to give one. Barton's line lands there this season, illusion and all.
