Over the past seasons Stine Goya has been exploring interior worlds, in the sense that she has held shows on the street where she lives and in her atelier. Earlier this year she introduced a small selection of housewares. Now, in connection with her new collection, which she named The Guest House, Goya has customized four paint colors with File Under Pop, a surface design company for interiors run by her friend Josephine Yaa Akuamoa whose office served as a location for the showroom and celebratory dinner for this season.
The backstory for spring probably made sense on the moodboard, but was overcomplicated in the telling. The team imagined a traveler arriving at an 18th-century country house by horse (which explains the equine print and patterns). Overlaid on this were references to Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde. The garments got to the point more directly. An engaging print of porcelain plates, ceramic buttons, crochet (used on half collars), and a monogram like you might find on a linen napkin, conveyed the world of interiors theme with various levels of subtlety. “All of the details have come from this world that you feel like you are looking into, you can recognize something, but it’s not your own,” said Goya of the wondrous voyeurism being hosted in someone’s house allows.
If a heart print was saccharine, a dress with an extended vest-top and a flowy skirt was perfectly romantic. The designer claimed a groovy pair of washed jeans with a wide waistband her own by forming the belt loops on either side of the closing in the shape of an “s” and a “g”—standing for Stine Goya, but also so good.
