“Gone Fishing,” MELKE’s 10th collection, is an ode to growing up on the lake in Minnesota. It’s also a reflection of my 12 years living in New York and a way of paying homage to my roots.

This collection is filled with warm, earthy colors, nostalgic plaids, and colorful prints, each telling the story of a day at the lake. Lures reimagined as beads and feathers evoking the breeziness of ferns accent soft tailoring and relaxed silhouettes, creating a sense of balance and ease. Luxurious knits paired with pleating and button-downs subtly reference the uniform MELKE has become known for. And as always, color brings to life the pleasure of whimsical design.
