Get Ahead of the Holiday Season with the Latest Aknvas Resort Collection

It's never too early to plan your holiday season outfits. While we all enjoy the warmth of summer, there is a unique charm to Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties, and family gatherings that beckon careful planning. Aknvas designer Christian Juul Nielsen understands this well.

Nielsen's appreciation for festive attire is matched by the enthusiasm of Aknvas consumers. Unveiling the latest resort collection, Nielsen reflected on the success of his previous holiday wear line-up. "Last year we saw a really good sell-through with our resort collection, so I knew I wanted to do something around lights and sparkles, but finding sophisticated ways of doing it," he explained, referring to last year's ‘After Hours’ themed holiday fashions.

For the Resort 2025 collection, Nielsen has elevated his approach, infusing the line with shine, rich textures, and a plethora of new embroideries. Make a statement while remaining on theme.

To pay homage to one of Juul Nielsen’s favorite artists, Olafur Eliasson, the collection’s overarching theme is luminescence.

The first two looks of the collection pay homage to this: a knee-length dress with bow straps, and a slinky pair of party trousers feature bold red sequined styles. Juul Nielsen elaborated on the development process, stating it included mixing thicker shiny red sequins with matte ones to create a "more modern approach to reflection."

The collection continued to impress with sexy, sheer floral lace mock-neck tops; a flounced corset paired with sheer black lace trousers, embroidered with sequins and beading; and signature cocktail shakers now gilded and featuring sculptural bow-adorned busts — a recurring accent throughout the resort line to ensure you wrap yourself like a present to match your wares.

Sparkle and shine not your thing? Don’t worry, Juul Nielsen has thought about you with simple knit tops and dresses in "acid sorbet yellow," adorned with metal-ring sleeves and hems — a modern take on embroideries. The collection also includes Aspen-ready faux fur layers and flounced, frothy "feather fringe" soft pink halter gowns with giant bows at the back. Sabrina Carpenter, eat your heart out.

So, as you savor the summer, consider getting a head start on your holiday wardrobe with Aknvas's latest resort collection. It promises to bring sophistication, sparkle, and a touch of modern elegance to your festive celebrations.
