Summer, for me, has always been about ease.
Not in a “throw anything on and hope for the best” kind of way, but in that instinctive, you-just-know-it-works way. Pieces you don’t have to overthink - but still feel like you.
At Little Lies, that’s always been the goal. Creating clothes that fit into your life without effort. Pieces you can wear on a hot day in the city, take on holiday, dress up for something last minute, and then bring back into your wardrobe when the seasons change.
This drop leans into that. Satin, lace, metallics, studs, animal print - all the things we come back to again and again, but reworked in a way that feels right for summer. And, more importantly, pieces you’ll still be reaching for long after.

So much of this drop has come from listening.
Seeing what you wear, what you come back for, what you tell us you need more of. It’s not about starting from scratch every season - it’s about refining, evolving, and making things better.
There are pieces you’ve come back to again and again - the cheesecloth dresses, co-ords, those easy, breathable fabrics you live in all summer. Instead of trying to replace them, I wanted to build on them.
The Onyx dress is probably the clearest version of that. It takes elements from those previous pieces — the volume, the relaxed fit, the comfort of muslin — and pulls them into one. But then it’s finished with studded detailing, just to give it that edge. It’s still an easy, everyday dress, but it feels a bit more considered. A bit more Little Lies.

The Kravitz & Metallic co-ords were such standout pieces for us last summer and I wanted to create something with that same wearability - but in a fabric you can style all year round.
The satin base is the same as our Nightbird pieces, so we already know how well it wears and washes. And if you’ve got the cami, it’ll match back to these too, which I love.
The lace trim adds something a bit more considered — it makes it feel like a set you can wear on its own in summer, but also layer into your wardrobe later.
The shirt works open or closed, layered under knits, styled up or down. The shorts are designed so the lace hem can just peek out under something oversized.
It’s about building your wardrobe with pieces you come back to, not just for one season.

For me, “easy” doesn’t mean plain - it means pieces that do the hard work for you. Something that makes an outfit feel like yours, without needing to add anything else.
Zadie is a great example of that. The shape is soft and easy to wear, something you don’t have to think too much about. The silhouette is based on something we already know fits beautifully, but reworked with patchwork animal print to give it a completely different energy.
It skims over the body, has volume where you want it, and is easy to wear — but still feels like you’ve made a choice with your outfit.
That balance between impact and ease is always the goal.

The kimono is such a core Little Lies piece, so it always has it’s place.
Electric Lady is our classic silhouette, but reworked for summer. Instead of devoré velvet, we’ve used a metallic jacquard chiffon — still textured, still special, but lighter, easier, and made for warmer weather.
It’s based in black, but threaded through with mixed gold and silver metallics so it catches the light in a really subtle way. We also added a studded trim for the first time, which just gives it that bit of edge.
It’s still that same piece you throw on over anything, but it feels a bit more elevated. A bit more “evening in the sun” than everyday layering.

One of the things I always come back to when designing is versatility.
I don’t want pieces that only work in one setting or for one moment. I want something you can wear on holiday, then again at home, then again styled completely differently a few months later.
Space Oddity really came from that idea. It’s a relaxed, sheer chiffon maxi with a celestial foil print running through it, but it’s not just a dress. You can wear it loose, cinched, buttoned, or completely open as a duster.
It works just as easily over swimwear as it does styled for an evening. And that’s exactly the point - it adapts to how you want to wear it.

Summer dressing should feel instinctive.
Less overthinking, more wearing what you love - pieces that move with you and become part of your everyday without trying too hard.
That’s the whole point of this collection.
The first drop of Summer ’26 lands this weekend, and we can’t wait for you to make it your own.

Big Love,
