We’re really starting to feel some hints of fall in Portland in the last week or so. The light is changing, the wildfire smoke has cleared off of the city, and we’ve finally gotten some sprinkles of rain here and there. We love a season change at Folly, and we were so excited to be able to kick off our fall collection with the semi annual Fade to Light fashion show where we can experiment with new styles and designs.
Sarah Bibb’s collection made an entrance first with a lighthearted short video centering around the idea that bright colors don’t have to die off at the end of summer, and in fact, we should keep vivid fashion around for the often grey and gloomy Portland fall days. Doesn’t that just make sense? Check out the video below!
Her runway collection was full of playful, yet sporty designs aiming to bring a cheerful mood to the start of fall. The first look out was a teal velvet bra and panties set paired with a kimono style jacket in an abstract printed silk organza.
Next out was a hot pink exaggerated turtleneck paired with a black jumper featuring some oversized buttons. This hot pink dress echoed the silhouette featured in the opening video. I love this idea of a neon pink dress in a fall collection! Following this theme, you can expect to find bright solids and prints along with button details in our in-store fall collection!
The next look down the runway was a bright teal hoody paired with a flowy black patterned skirt with a pop of tulle peeking out. This was a fun way to pair a casual sweatshirt with a more feminine skirt to give a unique and playful look. The fabric of the Mina Skirt is one of our favorites this year! Both of these pieces are very versatile and can be mixed and matched to give a more dressy or cozy feel. Stop by the shop to come check out the Audrey Hoody and Mina Skirt!

Another piece from the runway that's now available for you in-store is the Mary Tunic! For the runway, we paired this with some ombre tights, but for every day, this tunic pairs really nicely with some of our Tummy Tuck Leggings. This tunic is a great way to feel cozy and comfortable, but still look cute!
Next up was a teal velvet tank featuring an exaggerated turtleneck and a silver lining paired with a silk organza mid-length circle skirt lined with a golden yellow silk. The silver lining on the tank gave her an intergalactic type of feel, while still feeling very fall being paired with teal and golden hues. This look was so fun and lighthearted, yet sophisticated and sexy! Come check out these ombre tights we have in the shop too!
Following the theme of velvet and extra long turtlenecks, the next look featured a pink velvet tank paired with a black corduroy jumper with oversized red buttons down the front. I love this look, especially how the ombre tights work with the black jumper to create a seamless gradient.
Lastly, the most dressy and festive piece made an entrance! This look was a one shoulder teal velvet dress with a flowy skirt and silk organza lining. We paired this with a corduroy bow belt, ombre mermaid tights, and the most perfect turquoise pumps to create a seamlessly gorgeous look.
A big thank you to Ama Hathaway for these beautiful photos!
We love the idea of having the runway collection inspire the fall collection we have for you in the store! There will definitely be more fun and colorful pieces inspired by elements of Sarah’s Fade to Light collection coming soon, so stay tuned!
