Montage Hotels & Resorts has tapped Jonathan Simkhai to design a capsule collection for its twentieth anniversary.

The collaboration sparks from a friendship, Simkhai explained: The Los Angeles designer is nice friends with Montage International’s creative director, Azadeh Hawkins. “We’ve all the time talked about considering of the way that we will work together.”

Featuring women’s and men’s sleep and swimwear starting from about $66 to $225, the road includes organic silk apparel — a V-neck camisole, long-sleeve top, pants and robe — a one-piece swimsuit in recycled nylon, board shorts in recycled polyester and a T-shirt in organic cotton. There are also accessories: a baseball cap, bucket hat, square scarf and eye mask. Lots of the items feature the identical wave motif, incorporating Montage’s “M” logo with signature colours related to its various properties.

Simkhai was inspired by the waves of the ocean and mountains that surround Montage locations, he said. “I’ve steadily vacationed on the Montage hotels, and I just love how elegant they’re and the way unique each hotel is….I actually enjoy luxury hotel experiences, and I actually geek out about them. I really like hosting. The entire hospitality thing usually is something I really like.”

The road is exclusively sold online at shopmontage.com and inside hotel properties’ retail stores, which have previously carried Simkhai’s resortwear and après ski collections.

“It felt like an ideal strategy to enhance their current offering with something more custom and special for his or her anniversary,” Simkhai continued.

The designer finds inspiration from his customers, he added. “I spend a lot time in several stores, in our own retail stores. We opened three retail stores this 12 months. We’re opening Southampton this summer. Now we have a latest store in SoHo. Now we have our boutique in West Hollywood. We’re opening Dallas [in] Highland Park Village in June. With the ability to be in those stores, spend time with customers and really having that direct connection and designing for real women and getting the direct feedback from the clients and from the ladies which are wearing the gathering has all the time been what drives me.”
