The Row has a way of making you want to remember every look, even when you are not allowed to take a photo. For Resort 2027, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen once again presented the collection without phones, notebooks, or the usual runway distractions, putting the focus entirely on the clothes. And there was plenty to remember. The silhouettes felt slimmer and more elongated than some of the brand’s recent collections, with beautifully cut trousers, long coats, narrow skirts, and dresses that felt almost effortlessly thrown together.
What I kept coming back to was the way The Row played with imperfection. Raw edges, softly wrinkled fabrics, chiffon layers, and shredded velvet details gave the collection a slightly undone quality without taking away from the precision of the pieces. A white dress that looked almost like a beautifully draped bedsheet was one of those moments that made the collection feel so distinctly The Row. There was also a gorgeous black double breasted evening coat, long and slightly slouchy, that immediately felt like something you could wear for years.
The accessories continued the direction we saw in the Pre Fall collection, particularly with the return of more classic pump heels. Bags were another interesting part of the collection, with plenty of clutches and softer leather bags that were often folded or held close to the body. It almost felt intentional, as though The Row wanted us to see the bags in their most natural state rather than presenting them as perfect runway objects. The styling also gave classic accessories a fresh attitude, with pieces like a long strand of pearls feeling surprisingly modern.
What makes this collection work so well is that nothing feels designed simply for the runway. The Row continues to build pieces around real women and the way they actually want to dress, from beautifully tailored trousers to evening skirts, relaxed coats, fluid dresses, and accessories that can become part of your everyday life. There is a sense of confidence in letting the clothes speak for themselves, and Resort 2027 does exactly that. Among all the looks, below are the ones that stood out as our favorites, best capturing the refined, effortless spirit of the collection.
