The Garment’s recent pre-collections have embraced the concept of home as a central theme. After drawing on the interiors of Vilhelm Hammershøi for pre-fall, designer Charlotte Eskildsen found inspiration for the resort collection at Lille Mølle, a 17th-century windmill and former mill near Christiania. This historic site not only served as the backdrop for the lookbook but also influenced the jacquard patterns, which echoed the upholstery materials found at the landmark. Eskildsen emphasized that the garments are meant for “a woman who dresses not for spectacle, but for herself,” capturing the lived-in essence of the spaces.
Lace and lingerie, including the unexpected appearance of bloomers, emphasized a theme of intimate interiors. Eskildsen envisioned these pieces as versatile enough for anything from a cozy night of binge-watching TV to hosting a gathering in style, with options like pajamas emitting a soft golden glow.
The Garment consistently balances feminine and nostalgic touches with what Eskildsen describes as “masculine-coded references,” often drawing from ’90s tailoring. A pair of narrowly tailored pants paired with an asymmetrically closed vest demonstrated this, creating an elegant drape. Similar fluidity in fabric was seen in a silk slip dress featuring one spaghetti strap and one sleeve, enhancing the garment’s soft, intimate feel. Eskildsen reinterpreted the boiled-wool Tyrolean jacket into a cropped version with passementerie-trimmed knit and frog closures. The collection also included a set of scallop-hemmed shorts and a lace-edged cape, evoking a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood.
