You won’t find any turquoise jewelry or Aztec prints in Dodd’s lineup, but in their place is a streamlined series of looks geared towards Dodd’s urbane clientele. Focusing on wave patterns that mimic the waveforms of Antelope Canyon and rich shades of teal and coral, Dodd has crafted a look that syncs up with his existing signatures. Keeping popular pieces like his loose-fitting tunics and gauzy dresses with transparent overlays, he has broadened his output without losing touch with the essentials.
Branching into denim for the first time with a crisp white jacket embroidered with a monochromatic version of the wave pattern and a pair of jeans with split seams, Dodd has elevated a casual look with upgraded materials—you’ll be hard pressed to find softer fabric within the category. Dodd’s attention to detail adds interest to his ever-growing output—even the sleek pumps he introduced during Resort got a little added bling, courtesy of crescent-shaped silver disks. Standouts like saffron shorts paired with an oversize blazer are a relaxed take on the summer suit, and Dodd has carried that mellow vibe into his most ornate pieces. With poppy-color column dresses covered in clear sequins to create glossy texture and knee-length knits designed to be layered over cropped pants, his vision for evening is appealingly chill. It’s that laid-back vibe that has given Dodd’s look traction. Sequined dresses and great jeans aren’t hard to come by, but done right, they’re hard to resist.
