It is an honor to present Lingua Franca's first fashion show, which takes inspiration from The Bowery Hotel—a NYC landmark hotel steeped in the history of this iconic street and lovingly designed by my husband, Sean MacPherson. The hotel’s interiors informed many details of this collection, from tassels and tapestries to delicate doilies and old-world art. The Bowery’s renegade spirit is woven throughout, and the line is brought to life by the property's playful mythology and its cast of puckish characters, like Bo the Bowery Bear and Mose the Bowery Boy. The Bowery Hotel is a venue of constant movement, where chance encounters remind us that our destinies are unknown. Depending on one’s state of mind, the lobby can feel like a refuge from a chaotic city or a romantic launch pad to a new adventure. Lingua Franca’s Fall 25 collection aims to channel that energy—rooted in quiet rebellion, woven with purpose, and designed to spark joy and inspiration for all who pass through. xo Rachelle
