I've shopped dozens of Mango designer collaborations over the years without fully committing to their given aesthetic. An extra-oversize raffia bag from Victoria Beckham's summer capsule is now my preferred beach day plus-one, while dresses from Kaia Gerber's Mango collection are reserved for the wedding circuit. Siedrés's collection introduced me to an all-time favorite sundress. Now, it's British-Indian designer Supriya Lele's turn to transform Mango in her brand's likeness. And this time, for the first time, I'm tempted to buy everything.
The same irreverent cool-girl energy attracting Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Sydney Sweeney to Lele's designs courses through her Mango collaboration. Between the semi-sheer maxi dresses, metallic, strappy swimwear, and one Hailey Bieber-bait pair of cut-out leggings, it's obvious why Lele became a 2020 LVMH Prize finalist—and why her pieces are destined to take over closets this summer. This is a collection designed by and for the female gaze: It's sexy and fluid, without sacrificing comfort. (Crucially, it's also all available for $350 or less.)
