What This Is Not
By Mary Oliver

This is not just surprise and pleasure.
This is not just beauty sometimes
too hot to touch.
This is not a blessing with a beginning
and an end.
This is not just a wild summer.
This is not conditional.

For Fall ‘21, Poémia was inspired by love that is deep, unconditional and simple. Yearning for the bucolic outdoors after so many days inside, we were inspired by the romantic imagery of Jane Eyre rushing through the fields towards Rochester. Poémia has used their signature diaphanous organic cotton voile, sheer and mysterious, and manipulated it with gathering, pleats and tucks to create soft volume and a feminine silhouette. The full skirts are delicately pintucked and shaped in a way that defines the waist and creates a shy drama with movement.
