The Gabriela Hearst Edit: Pieces to Know This Season

The Gabriela Hearst edit

A Gabriela Hearst collection rewards slow looking. The drama is in the cloth, the cut and the colour, never in the volume. For this edit, a Luxury Handbags editor pulled the pieces that best show what the house does, the hand finished knits, the printed silks and linens, the tailoring that holds its shape and the outerwear worth keeping for years. Read it as a starting map of the collection, then browse the full rail for sizes and details.

The prints worth the wait

Hearst keeps print rare, so the Uruguayan Flowers series lands hard when it arrives. The Alessia Strapless Maxi Dress in Uruguayan Flowers Printed Linen is the headline, a clean strapless line in a print drawn from her home country, easy to wear with nothing more than flat sandals. For something with sleeves, the Ignis Maxi Shirtdress in Uruguayan Flowers Printed Linen covers a long warm day with the same garden palette. Prefer to break the print across pieces? The Edify Top and the Dugald Pleated Midi Skirt, both in Uruguayan Flowers printed silk, let you take the motif in smaller doses.

Knitwear that does the heavy lifting

This is the heart of the house. The Kurt Knit Pleated Maxi Dress in White Multi Merino Wool shows how far Hearst can push a knit, a full length dress with the comfort of a sweater and the presence of evening wear. The Chandra Knit Maxi Dress in Ivory Multi Beaded Cashmere Silk raises the register again with hand beading. For pieces you will reach for weekly, the Nello Knit Sweater and the matching Sabine Knit Midi Skirt, both in ivory multi beaded cashmere silk, can be worn together as a set, then split across the wardrobe. A Wigman Knit Turtleneck Sweater in Camel Cashmere is the quiet workhorse that pairs with everything.

Tailoring and the tonal neutrals

Hearst’s neutrals are where a wardrobe gets built. The camel run is especially strong this season, anchored by the Aeon Puff Sleeve Trench Coat in Camel Sea Island Cotton Twill, a coat with real architecture, and the Amoret Barrel-leg Jean in the same cotton twill for an off duty option that still looks composed. Layer in the Maria Top and the Frei skirts/maxi/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">Maxi Skirt, both in camel silk satin, for a fluid tonal column, and add the Cruz Shirt in Camel Silk Satin when you want a sharper finish. A few cool toned pieces, like the Brigita Slip Dress in Light Blue Silk Satin, give the palette somewhere to breathe.

How to shop the edit

If you are starting from scratch, buy the knitwear first, then a piece of camel tailoring, then one printed dress for the season. That order gives you a working wardrobe that you can dress up and down, and it leans on the pieces Hearst makes best. Everything here is built to last, so think in years, not in trends.
