Mérida, the vibrant capital of Yucatán state, backdrops the pieces inspired by their surroundings and unforgettable escapes.
Photographer Josh Olins took the campaign across Mérida with American model Taylor Hill with Ibby Sow, Marlon Teixeira, and Melodie Vaxelaire across various locations in Mérida.
“It was so great to see the shoot unfold. The intention behind Banana Republic’s styling was really interesting, and it was great to see everyone’s vision come together as we traveled from location to location across the city of Merida, Mexico,” says model Taylor Hill.
Banana Republic offers versatile pieces to rebuild one’s summer wardrobe, ideal for travels under the sun, special occasions and events, and warm, languid weather. It’s a wardrobe grounded in versatile pieces that place an emphasis on high-quality natural fabrications. Luxurious lightweight linen made from the finest European Flax, airy open weave knits and crisp cotton poplin are made to keep you cool even when it’s hot.
“As we continue on our journey of transformation, we wanted to partner with influential voices who embody our spirit of exploration. Taylor Hill’s timeless and effortless style reflects the confident ethos that this collection was designed for,” says Meena Anvary, Head of Marketing at Banana Republic.
Soft, natural tones like crystalized blues, stark whites, and shades of yellow that are reminiscent of sunset vistas define the seasonal color palette. Pink iris saturates two standout women’s styles: a two-piece linen set and the twisted prima cotton midi dress. Stripes are also seen throughout the collection; contrasting in black and white on a maxi dress and in a softer, wide-set stripe pattern on the linen long-sleeve polo and pleated shorts set.
Menswear plays on color and textural variations to create a dynamic summer wardrobe. A light blue linen suit contrasts strongly against a deep navy blue button-down shirt, creating a three-piece look that is sophisticated in its approach to formal summer dressing.
Natural shades like seafoam green, soft eggshell, and light yellow are seen in fabrics like cashmere and linen, creating perfect layers for summer nights ahead.
Bright pops of color contrast with neutral hues. Lightweight linen made from the finest European flax. Crisp poplin to keep you cool even when it’s hot. This beloved California-born brand helps enliven—and makes more comfortable—this season of get-togethers and celebrations, laughter and good vibes.
Its travel-perfect June collection is casual sophistication at its finest. Think light, versatile layers that look effortless, wherever, whenever.
These weekend must-haves from Banana Republic have arrived at its Greenbelt 5 branch and on bananarepublic.com.ph.
