The project, in its early stages, is a fragrance brand’s first project in the space.
With new terrain comes a new set of equipment. The name comes from the creation of a new vocabulary in the Metaverse, consisting of 26 “elements”, of which limited quantities are produced and users can modify their avatars. They will appear as wearable “auras,” Byredo said.

A single scent is incapable of representing this virtual world, so we’ve created a glossary of elements that collectors can combine to create something completely unique.” ,” Byredo founder and creative director Ben Gorham said in the statement.
Each element represents different human emotions, including sharpness, harmony, innocence and virtue. It follows a similar thread to Byredo’s makeup line, which aimed to evoke a spectrum of emotions through color.

“We’re dipping our toes in the swim,” Steven Catron, creative director for Rebecca Taylor, told WWD in an exclusive interview. “We were designing the collection last year while still in lockdown andWe were looking at so many beautiful images of a lot of wonderful people walking around in places like St. Barth’s and the South of France,of the fleeing people. And most of us are wondering, where do we want to run when we can?
“We wanted to look at the sun and be by the water and thought it would be fun to swim [next] collection,” he continued. “It was really this ’50s idea. So we worked with Agnes’ team and my team on prints that really evoked that feeling. But we don’t swim ourselves.”
To be clear, Rebecca Taylor has had some exposure to the swimwear market.There are hand crocheted bras and matching bottoms. But Caitran calls it a “poolside swim.”
“It’s not traditional swimwear,” Caitren explained. “You are not actively swimming in the pool [in Rebecca Taylor swimwear.] It’s like styling; Like accessories, like under an oversized shirt, or more of a concept like an open dress.”
Luckily, members of Cateron’s design team were fans of the Fisch Swim and its retro glam look. So Catterton reached out to Agnes Fischer, the founder and designer of Fish on Instagram, to see if she’d be interested in working together.
The Rebecca Taylor x Fish Swim Collection includes one-piece and two-piece suits.

“That’s how it began,” he said. “We wanted to see how the Rebecca client would react to the swim. When I joined, I wanted to create a bit more of a sensibility of the collection than I had in the past. So a lot of outerwear and lifestyle components over the past two years — like cute sweaters, knitwear, fur, leather, all kinds of things that make it feel like one big romantic story — rather than a brand you think of as, like, a dress or Top. It’s making more and more use of lifestyle opportunities for the brand. Swimming felt like a natural layer on it.
“And swimming makes sense” [right now], because everything is halted and on lockdown,” he continued. “Now people want to get out again; They want to have fun and live. Our Rebecca Taylor Collection supports that lifestyle with the Summer Collection. And when I was looking at Fish and their collection, I was thinking there’s such a synergy with what they do. ,
Fisher, who splits her time between New York and St. Barth’s, was intrigued by the idea of a collaboration – a first for the Fish brand.
“I was very nervous about it,” admitted the designer. “But whatreally influenced my decision [to work with Rebecca Taylor was], I went to the store and bought some pieces for myself for the summer. And I was thinking, ‘If I love these pieces, I’ll do it.’ And I loved the products. I wore them a lot that summer.
“And I think Rebecca Taylor is a New York brand. But most people associate Fish with St. Barth’s. Because it’s a St. Barth’s brand,” Fischer said, referring to the brand that launched in 2017.
The 15-piece limited-edition Rebecca Taylor x Fish Swim collection, which launches today at rebeccataylor.com, features string bikinis, one-piece suits and cover-ups, a mix of solid colors and hand-painted designs, such as sky blue Are included.

Fischer’s team used their expertise to create the silhouette, while the team of Caitren and Rebecca Taylor designed the images on each piece.
“What I liked about this collection was that they did prints that I haven’t done before,” Fischer said.
Caitran said: “The prints are really beautiful; there’s a real sophistication to them. Most swim brands tend to look quite digital. This one [collaboration] There’s a real romantic sensibility. And the Phish team moves forward with consistency. All the materials they use are regenerated material up to the tags and labels. It made me think more about sustainability, so that we can think more about it in Rebecca Taylor.”
Both brands will celebrate the launch on June 30 with an intimate dinner at the Tipping Rose House, which will be attended by Caitron and Fischer alongside influencers, stylists, friends of the brand, and Vince CEO Jack Schweifel.
“I’m sure our customer wants more” [swimwear], ”Catran said. “It usually happens. We’re kind of running before running this time. It was just a little test for me to see the response and is pending, maybe build more next summer. ,
