One&Only Resorts and luxury resort wear designer Marie France Van Damme are collaborating for the third time on a new “City to Resort” collection

After two successful travel capsule collections, One&Only Resorts invited Marie France Van Damme to design an exclusive new collection for guests to coincide with the upcoming resort season. Like their two prior collaborations, the limited-edition collection includes 10 versatile resort wear pieces and an exclusive print. New this year, Marie France Van Damme introduces a palette of silver and opulent fabrics, metallic-toned Italian weaves and featherweight Chinese silks for the evening.

Marie France Van Damme designed the new “City to Resort” collection to travel the world in style both on holiday and at home. The forthcoming collection will feature classic silhouettes designed to complement one another. Silk chiffon shorts and long tunics with matching swimsuits can be worn from the pool, to the beach, and then to lunch. Metallic dresses and skirts are perfect for New Year’s eve, barefoot at the beach, and can be worn back in the city with killer heels and lots of bubbles. A perfect little day dress is great to go off and discover the island, and can then be worn at the office during summer months.

Sold together or as separate pieces, the collection is available at all NEO boutiques, as well as in Marie France Van Damme‘s stores and on her website mariefrancevandamme.com. Guests of One&Only will have the opportunity to purchase the wardrobe in advance of their trip or choose to have the collection waiting for them upon arrival at the resort.

We are excited to design a third capsule collection for the One&Only guest. My clients travel around the world and need to find things to wear and look wonderful day and night, and all year–round in resort towns. People are not just buying for one occasion, but look forward to wearing their ‘resort’ collections when they return to the city.
