The collaboration with the sustainable, Paris-based brand cultivates a summery wardrobe that pays homage to a special place in Auer’s world: Tuscany. The latest drops in Gaâlas linen collection, Tuscany is celebrated through the Leyla Dress, Siena Set, and Anne Dress. Lightweight and effortlessly elegant, these pieces embody vintage aesthetic reminiscent of nostalgic Italian summers.
“The collection was inspired by one of my favorite places in the world: Tuscany,” said Auer. “I imagined a wardrobe for the ideal day in this beautiful part of Italy; antique shopping in a small village, wine tasting in a vineyard, and dinner overlooking a gorgeous sunset over the hills. With this image in mind, I wanted to create pieces that would make you feel your best regardless of the occasion. I envisioned them as feminine, timeless, comfortable, and effortless to style.”
Crafted from delicate, up-cycled materials, the 100% linen Leyla Dress is as dainty on the environment as it is on the wearer. Off-white and simple, the midi length breathes nostalgia with its bodice cups, elastic back, and comfortable adjustable straps. Versatile for any season--pair it with strappy heels for summer or layer it with boots and a cardigan for fall--the Leyla Dress is your wardrobe’s next staple piece.
If the Leyla Dress is vintage femininity, the Anne Dress is a 90s throwback. Inspired by Ralph Lauren’s halter top era, the dress comes in head-turning black and an accompanying belt. A nostalgic take on the Little Black Dress, the Anne Dress embodies Italy’s signature artistry through a midnight-shaded linen allure.
The Siena Set, a two-piece package of a cream-white waistcoat and flowing pants, takes its name from the iconic Tuscan city. Simultaneously historic and contemporary, Siena is a time portal to a world of old. This matching set, like Siena’s medieval spires and spacious piazzas, blends modern comfort with feminine edge. Easy to mix and match with your closet’s favorites, the Siena Set is the definition of versatile style, as ever-evolving as the history of Tuscany herself.
To maximize the longevity of your Gaâla linens, and if you can’t make it to the dry cleaner, hand-wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Lay flat or hang-dry to retain the garment’s shape. Steam of iron on low heat to smooth out wrinkles.
Based in Paris, Gaâla honors your environment not only through its warm weather aesthetic. Sustainability is woven through every thread, sewing eco-awareness into your summer style. Each piece is made-to-order to reduce wasteful overproduction and is crafted with upcycled materials that cultivate true slow fashion. Upcycled fabrics are never the same each time, which means that whenever you place an order with Gaâla, you’ll be delivered a one-of-a-kind item with its own identity different from even that of the model who wore it first on their website.
According to the sustainability information on the website: “From the sun-drenched fields where our linen begins its journey, to the skilled hands that craft each garment, there is a story of connection, of care, and of returning to the natural rhythms of life.”
Additionally, it doesn’t get daintier than Gaâla’s Rose Petal Fabric, a plant-based material derived from actual roses and their natural waste. Combine all this with the brand’s collaboration with family-owned textile companies in France, as well as their dedication to fair trade practices, and you can don your summer style with a clear conscience.
Gaâla’s linen collections range from $115-$315. The Livia Auer collection ranges from $140-$285. Both are available at Gaâla.com.
