Welcome to Behind the Seams—a series where I take you behind the curtain of each design I create. In these posts, I’ll share the personal stories, inspiration, and the little details that bring each piece to life. From the initial spark of an idea to the final stitch, I want to give you a glimpse into the heart and soul of my collections.
The Freddie Caftan is a love letter to effortless glamour and the kind of confidence that makes any room take notice. Named after my best friend, Freddie—who has an unmatched ability to make a caftan look like the most effortlessly chic thing in the world—this piece embodies her bold, magnetic spirit. Freddie has always been the kind of woman who floats into a party, drink in hand, laughing at her own jokes, and making everyone feel like the most interesting person in the room. She’s never overdressed, never underdressed—just perfectly, unbotheredly fabulous. That’s exactly the energy I wanted to capture in this design.
With its flowing silhouette, dramatic sleeves, and just the right amount of structure to keep it polished, the Freddie Caftan is made for the woman who embraces both comfort and statement dressing. It’s the kind of piece you can throw on and instantly feel put together, whether you're barefoot on the beach, hosting a dinner party, or chasing a toddler while still managing to look like a muse. It’s a tribute to friendship, to effortless style, and to the kind of women who inspire us just by being themselves.
