The Perfect Summer Dress from Harley Viera Newton


HVN X MATCHESFASHION.COM

In the garden of Ladurée in Soho on Wednesday night, girls in printed summer dresses perfectly matched the candy-colored petits fours, macaroons and mini ice creams on display. The confections came from the kitchen, but the pastel frocks were cooked up by Harley Viera Newton, who created a capsule collection, called HVN, which launched on MatchesFashion.com. Inspired by Viera Newton’s years of vintage shopping, the six styles feature girlish prints like gingham and cherries in mod, tea-length cuts. A number of friends helped her model the collection, including Martha Hunt, Alexa Chung, Laura Love, Kate Foley and Leigh Lezark. “I wanted to design the perfect dress you throw on when you have five minutes to get ready. These dresses are the ones I’ve always envisioned,” said Viera Newton in a press release. “They are your go-to pieces that make your life that much easier. Throw them on, kick on your heels, grab your bag….and go.”
