Tome’s Summer-Perfect Capsule Collection

Tome designers Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin have finally unveiled their first large-scale capsule collection. Inspired by Cuban design and Belkis Ayon’s artworks, Tome has devised some rich, easy-to-wear pieces with sultry swirls. The collection varies from décolletage-diving, broad-striped wrap dresses to wide-leg cream pants. The color pallette is rich in earthy tones and combined with dark underlays that are based on Ayon’s gloomy artworks. The design duo focuses on the feminine gaze reflected in women’s independence, which is why they drew from Ayon’s work. The collection, available for preorder via Moda Operandi, features American actor Tessa Thompson, who was a muse for Lobo and Martin.
