Jessie Murph’s Bold Bloom for NYLON Magazine’s July Issue

Let’s begin with the audaciousness of it all. The top, a sheer, high-neck piece, is an exquisite tapestry of delicate floral embroidery. It’s a whimsical, almost ethereal choice that beautifully contrasts with the more… challenging elements of the look. One can almost feel the gentle whisper of the fabric, a charming detail against a background that often demands overt statements.

But then, the unexpected turns. The skirt, a short, iridescent blue number with a distinct, almost bubble-like silhouette, feels a little… uncertain. Its satin sheen catches the light, yes, but the construction—that bold, almost gathered shape—is certainly a conversation starter. And then, the pièce de résistance, or perhaps, the point of contention: the tights. A vivid, almost neon pink, paired with white, open-toe heels and white socks. C’est un choix. A bold, undeniably memorable choice that screams “I don’t care what you think, I’m having fun.” It’s an American confidence that, I confess, sometimes baffles my more understated European sensibilities.
