Outside Atlanta Athletic Club it was raining, but inside the atmosphere was totally different. The typical calm before the storm could be felt there, among the colorful lights reflecting on the white cloth that had been placed in the middle of the catwalk. Today in Le Banana we show you all the details!
The backstage of Jessica Trosman’s fashion show was quiet mainly because, unlike other times, journalists and photographers were not allowed. Models knitted brows as they chatted about the run on the dollar.
“Blessings from Santa Tarasca for you!”, said Paula Neira Bayá, who, together with her couple, Patricio Bayá, are Trosman’s partners in Not To Be Understood. The story of Santa Tarasca, the brand’s patron saint, started as a joke with Jessica while they were preparing their previous collection and now they have transformed that joke into their 2019 Summer campaign. They even gave stamps of Santa Tarasca during the show to “protect people from the financial crisis”.
“No Name or Law” is the name of the 2019 Summer collection that Jessica and Paula presented at Designers BA. It makes sense that they acknowledge their rebellion: they have never followed rules, they have always created their own.
The shape they show in this collection is, as always, alternative; patterns are both for young women and for those not so young. Floral prints on pants and back cuts on an oversize light jacket or on irregular tops are some of the innovations of the brand. Denim pieces are back this season while they have also created patchwork items with liberty prins that remind us of 70s.

Trend can be seen on the powder color palette -mustard yellow, yellow, light-blue, pink, and grey- on outfits with metallic materials, and on sporty and chunky sandals. Not To Be Understood Summer is comfortable, fresh and with the perfect dose of romanticism.
Enjoy.
