nué notes
Pre Fall 2025
A world in a flower
Drawing inspiration from the iconic American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, this season channels the essence of her work, aesthetics, and character. Her fascination with the stark landscapes of New Mexico, along with her abstract depictions of flowers, shells, and Western motifs, becomes the very heart of this collection, embodying both femininity and masculinity, fine craftsmanship, and the rugged beauty of the desert.
The Pre-Fall 2025 collection seeks to capture O'Keeffe's deep connection to the natural world, a relationship that shaped much of her life and work. Her paintings inspire a palette of dusty pastels, earthy tones, and shades of blue, exploring themes of survival, simplicity, and untamed beauty. These concepts are reimagined through textiles that artfully balance tactile textures with softly structured forms.
Central to the collection are our striped marble knit cardigan in a blend of linen, silk, and cotton, alongside our cream-white shell-patterned heavy lace and patchwork jacquard jacket in soft dusty pastels, reflecting the layered textures found in O’Keeffe’s paintings as well as her close-up flower studies.
We’ve worked with fabrics that emphasize craftsmanship and natural materials. Tactile twill herringbone denim is crafted into structured yet relaxed silhouettes, and nepped undyed linen blends are sharpened by a pinstripe weave, balancing textured strength and softness. These pieces bring a tactile richness to the collection, while our dusty blue chain-stitched quilted vest and skirt echo the petal forms and botanical patterns iconic to the nué notes aesthetics.
O’Keeffe was a prominent figure in the art world and a significant woman of her time. Her strong character and undeniable confidence were reflected in her aesthetic and expression, as she spent her final years in solitude at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. With textile structures ranging from heavy lace to marble denim, we aim to capture the tactile depth of her work, honoring her lasting influence and timeless artistry, blending the desert's resilience with a refined craftsmanship.
