SIGAL — “Mirage” in Focus

1. The Story & Inspiration

Designer Sigal Cohen Wolkowiez imagined the American Southwest at golden hour—Georgia O’Keeffe’s dusty pink mesas, wind-smoothed canyons, and mirage-worthy gradients of light. Each print began as a hand-painted watercolor, then was digitally transferred onto organic cotton voile, silk chiffon, and recycled Lycra so that brushstrokes remained visible in motion. resident.com

“My collections are always rooted in freedom—interpreting silence and stillness as something full of life.” — Sigal Cohen Wolkowiez resident.com

2. Palette & Print Chemistry

• Golden Ochre → Butter-Yellow ombré (seen in the off-shoulder jumpsuit and strapless co-ord).
• Burnt Sienna → Striated lava-swirl marbling (the cut-out long-sleeve set).
• Soft Amethyst fading to Evening Sky Purple, often cut on the bias for extra ripple (the plunge one-piece).
  These hues mirror the broader Swim-Week trend toward “sunset palettes” spotted by editors at Refinery29 refinery29.com while still feeling unmistakably Sigal.

4. Hair Direction by Sarah Lund (KEVIN.MURPHY)

Lund’s brief: “controlled ease.”

1. Prep with DOO.OVER for grip and airy volume.
2. Take a GHD Triple-Barrel Wave Iron only through the mid-lengths; keep roots & ends poker-straight.
3. Break the set with fingers, then mist TOUCHABLE to lock the S-curve without visible crunch.
4. Final pass of SHIMMER.SHINE on ends to echo the collection’s watercolor sheen.

The isolated wave “acts like a brushstroke on a blank canvas,” Lund explained backstage—tying the hair story back to Wolkowiez’s art-first prints.

5. Makeup & Finish

Backstage artists mirrored the desert-dusk theme with tangerine-to-terracotta eyelids, glossy skin, and barely stained lips. Feet were mostly bare or laced with delicate gold anklets so fabric movement—and that one mid-length wave—stayed center-stage.

6. Sustainability Credentials

• Natural & up-cycled fibers only (cotton, silk, lotus, recycled poly).
• Non-toxic, water-based inks for prints—keeping wastewater impact low.
• Limited-edition drops to discourage over-production. shopsigal.com
