Here's your first look at the inspiration and all the major trends to come…

“Spring 2023 is inspired by the power play of sets and suits, the polished ease and versatility of monochromatic dressing and the confidence of color…” — Veronica & Veronica

SETS APPEAL

Matching sets are a statement look that's as easy as throwing on a dress—universally flattering and the ultimate in pulled-together chic. For spring, we designed a myriad of styles for every mood and moment: sharply tailored monochromatic sets, tweed skirt-suits, vacation-ready short-suits, allover denim… We call it maximum impact, minimal effort.

COLOR THERAPY

How you dress can deeply impact how you feel going through you day. So in the spirit of dopamine dressing, we focused our collection on sunshine yellows, brights greens, cool blues and jewel-tone violets. Because a joyful palette = a joyful POV.

CHECKS, PLEASE (AND STRIPES TOO)

Plaids are a constant in any VB collection and, for spring, we reimagined them in bold gingham and multicolor checks. Prefer stripes? We have those too, including a vibrant space-dye version on a stretch knit dress. Our favorite is one of the finale looks—a gorgeously patterned dress, covered in sequins, for an ultra-luxe take on the graphic trend.

PROPORTION PLAYS

Wide-leg pants—including flares, stovepipes and peg-leg styles—continue to reign while, up top, we incorporated cropped, bustier and harness silhouettes. Consider it the warm-weather way to layer—over a top for chic contrast or under a jacket for a playful peekaboo vibe.

CRAFT WORKS

As always, we were thoughtful about the handcrafted details. This collection was made for an up-close look—braided details in lieu of piping, gentle fringe cascading down hems, beautiful crochet lace and softly textured tweeds. There's even a matching set crafted from thin strips of leather to resemble rattan, a beloved summer motif.
