Has Chris Leba gone romantic? This R13 resort collection is full of scattered little hearts. They’ve been printed and knitted and flocked. Some are tiny and cute and hidden in graphics and others are more prominent and a little moodier.

Last season Leba spoke about the darkness that had taken over culture. He name-dropped Nosferatu and considered the vibe-at-large that had put us all in a certain mood. “I mean, you have to have an angle!” he said of his mended hearts club. But with summer on its way IRL, he’s clearly experienced a vibe shift.

For resort, Leba is leaning dressier with longline breast-and-a-half coats in bright reds and seasonal prints; he also made a few great blouses in even greater fabrics—a particular highlight was a sheer blouse with flocking placed to look like devoré. He cut super slimming tailoring in a white stripe fabric with hidden stretch that played up its fit without making it unforgiving. It’s compelling to see Leba embrace holiday dressing his own way: There were silver foil trousers and chiffon blouses and even a lace-y circle skirt gathered at the waist with a mini crinoline.

Coolest of all were two convertible bottoms, one a mini skirt and another a skirt-pants (a skant?), rendered in leather with functional, chunky leather zippers down the center front. Leba also covered leather shorts and jackets with studs of all shapes and sizes. “They’re super heavy,” he joked, “but here it’s all about mixing the soft with the hard.”
