For our Spring / Summer 26 campaign, we spent a beautiful sunny day on location with a small, hardworking team of local creatives. With our photographer, videographer and makeup artist alongside the Vassalli team, we had one day to capture our vision for the season ahead.

Across the day, we photographed 20 outfits made up of some of our top picks for the season ahead. It was a busy day of outfit changes, moving between locations and making the most of the beautiful garden around us.

The day began with hair and makeup on location for our lovely model, Siani, before we headed out into the garden for our first looks.

This season has a distinctly European summer feel, with beautiful dresses and tops that called for an equally beautiful setting. Sculpted cypress trees, a courtyard and fountain gave us the perfect backdrop, bringing a little taste of the Mediterranean to our corner of New Zealand.

Of course, we couldn’t spend a summer day in the garden without a little fun.

For some of our sportier, golf-inspired looks, we swapped the golf clubs for a croquet set. After all, what says summer garden party quite like a game of croquet? Our printed Poppy Skirts and colourful Isla Shirts were made to be worn together, and felt right at home out on the lawn.

As the afternoon drew to a close, we made our way to the rose garden for one of our final looks of the day.

With the last of the golden light coming through, we photographed the Addie Dress in its new season colour, Ink. A customer favourite from last summer, we’re excited to welcome it back for another season.

We can’t wait to show you the rest.
