Alémais x Sophie Wahlquist: The Resort 2027 Artist Prints
Alémais x Sophie Wahlquist: The Resort 2027 Artist Prints
The Alémais Sophie Wahlquist collaboration is the artist-drawn part of Resort 2027: three prints (the Sophie floral, the Florero ceramic motif and the Teo bouquet) made with the Mallorca-based artist Sophie Wahlquist, and found on shirts, midi dresses, wide-leg pants and a tee on the Alémais brand page. Here is who she is, what each print looks like and how to wear it.
Key facts
- Sophie Wahlquist is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1983 and based in Mallorca since 2023.
- Three Alemais Resort 2027 prints carry her artwork: Sophie, Florero and Teo.
- The Sophie print is a floral silk and viscose jacquard in blue.
- Florero is a photographic print of ceramic motifs on linen and silk.
Who is Sophie Wahlquist?
Sophie Wahlquist is a multidisciplinary artist, born in 1983, who studied for a BFA at Parsons and has been based in Mallorca since 2023. Her subjects are mostly flora and fauna. For Alémais that matters because the label has always worked with artists, and its prints read as paintings first and patterns second; our Alémais history explains that habit. Wahlquist's botanical eye fits it naturally.
The three prints
Sophie: the floral jacquard
The Sophie print is a floral woven as a jacquard in a silk and viscose blend with a little stretch, mostly in blue. Because the pattern is woven, the flowers have a slight relief and a soft sheen that a flat print does not. It comes as a shirt with bespoke metal buttons, an oversized midi shirtdress, a tailored wide-leg pant with a front pleat and a below-the-knee skirt with drawstring ties and charm ends. A linen Sophie Sundress carries the same floral in a lighter, washable cloth.
Florero: ceramic motifs
Florero is a photographic print of ceramic motifs, the closest thing in the collection to a still life. It appears on an ivory European linen sundress with a square neckline and shirred back, and in green on a silk shirt and matching silk wide-leg pant with drawstring ties.
Teo: the bouquet tee
Teo is a bouquet print on a relaxed yellow cotton tee with dropped shoulders and a ribbed crewneck. It is the easiest entry point to the collaboration and the only piece in it sized in letters.
The pieces to buy
1. Sophie Shirtdress
The Sophie Shirtdress is the full statement: oversized, camp-collared, with a V opening and corded feature buttons on the jacquard.
2. Sophie Shirt
The Sophie Shirt has bespoke metal buttons at collar and cuffs, and pairs with the pant for a print-on-print suit.
3. Sophie Pant
The Sophie Pant is tailored, with a fixed waistband, front pleat and side pockets, so it reads as trousers first and holiday wear second.
4. Sophie Skirt
The Sophie Skirt sits below the knee with drawstring ties and charm ends, and dresses up with a plain knit.
5. Sophie Sundress
The Sophie Sundress puts the floral on European linen with spaghetti straps and back shirring, and the brand recommends a cold hand wash.
6. Florero Sundress
The Florero Sundress is ivory linen with the ceramic print, a square neckline and adjustable straps.
7. Florero Silk Shirt
The Florero Silk Shirt, relaxed with elbow-length sleeves, looks best with denim and a leather sandal.
8. Teo Bouquet Tee
The Teo Bouquet Tee is relaxed cotton with a ribbed crewneck, sized XXS to XXL.
How to wear the Wahlquist prints
- Wear the Sophie Shirt and Pant together for dinner, with a flat sandal and one gold earring.
- Break the set by day: the Sophie Shirt over white jeans, the Sophie Pant with a plain T-shirt.
- Give the Florero Silk Shirt a pale base so the ceramic motif stays the focus.
- Use the Teo tee with the Florero Silk Pant for a relaxed version of the print story.
The jacquard pieces and the Florero silks are dry clean only, while the linen sundresses and the Teo tee take a cold hand wash. Alémais uses Australian sizes, which match UK sizes one for one: an AU 8 is a UK 8 and a US 4. Knitwear runs in letters from XXS to XXL. Every piece carries the brand's own fit note, so check it before you choose. Full tables are in our Alémais size guide.

Zimmermann Sunglasses: Every Resort 2027 Frame Compared
Zimmermann sunglasses come in six frames in the newest drop: the Mirel Round, Mirel Oversize, Goldie Oval, Ellis Cateye, Ellis Navigator and Ellis Hexagon. Every pair is made in Italy, sold in one size with lens widths from 48mm to 60mm, and arrives with a Zimmermann case, dust bag and storage box. Lens categories run from 1 for a light tint up to 3 for strong sun, and the whole edit sits in Coveti's designer sunglasses category.
What Is a Toi et Moi Ring? Meaning, Sizing and Styling
A toi et moi ring is a ring set with two stones side by side, and its name is French for "you and me", so each stone stands for one person. The two stones can match, though they often differ in shape and colour, and they sit together on a single band. The Zimmermann Bloom version in the designer rings edit sets two black stones inside a gold floral form.
Sunglasses for Face Shape: How to Pick Frames That Fit
The best sunglasses for your face shape are the ones that contrast with it: angular cat eye, hexagon and navigator frames balance a round face, while round and oval frames soften a square jaw. Oval faces can wear almost any shape, and the frame should be roughly as wide as the widest part of your face. Every frame in the new Zimmermann drop maps neatly onto one of these rules, and you can try them all in the designer sunglasses edit.
How to Wear Flare Pants: Tops, Shoes and Hem Length Guide
To wear flare pants, balance the wide hem with a fitted top half: a cropped blouse, a tucked shirt, a slim knit. Then hem them for the shoes you will actually wear, so the flare skims the top of the foot and sits just off the floor. A heel lengthens the leg and a flat makes the look casual; the Zimmermann collection and the wider designer pants edit carry both fluid jersey and rigid denim versions.
How to Wear Drop Earrings: Hair, Necklines and Fit
To wear drop earrings, match the length of the drop to your neckline and your hair: open necklines and hair worn up suit longer drops, while high necks and loose hair suit shorter, slimmer ones. Keep the rest of your jewellery quieter so the movement of the earring does the talking. The Zimmermann Bloom and Plume drops in the designer earrings edit are good examples of both lengths.
How to Wear Ballet Flats: Outfits, Fit and Styling Rules
To wear ballet flats well, match the shoe to the hem: cropped trousers, ankle length jeans and midi skirts show the low vamp of a ballerina best, while a long flare hides it. Keep one element of the outfit structured, like a tailored jacket, a crisp shirt, a defined waist, so the flat reads polished rather than sleepy. Start with a rounded toe in black, gold and soft neutrals from the Zimmermann designer edit and the wider designer flats collection, and build from there.
How to Wear a Lace Skirt: Tops, Shoes and What Goes Under
To wear a lace skirt, pair it with a plain, close fitting top in a solid colour, wear a slip underneath when the lace is unlined, and choose shoes that match the mood: flats and sneakers by day, slim heeled sandals at night. The lace is the statement, so let everything around it stay smooth and simple. The Zimmermann Resort 2027 collection is full of examples across its designer midi skirts.
How to Wear a Cuff Bracelet: Fit, Wrist and Stacking
To wear a cuff bracelet, slide it on sideways through the narrow part of your wrist and let it rest just above the wrist bone, snug enough not to spin but loose enough to move. Wear it on the wrist without your watch for a clean look, and pair it with short sleeves, bare arms and sheer fabrics that let it show. A sculptural gold cuff like the Zimmermann Plume in the designer bracelets edit is strong enough to wear on its own.
How to Tie a Silk Neck Scarf: 8 Knots That Stay Put
To tie a silk neck scarf, fold it lengthwise into a narrow band, drape it around your neck with one end a little longer, then finish with a knot that suits your neckline: a side knot for an open collar, a bow for a blouse, a loop knot for a coat. A long, skinny silk scarf is the easiest to tie because the extra length lets you wrap twice and double knot, which is what keeps silk in place. The Zimmermann printed silk neck scarf, at 180 by 18 cm, is a good example, and you will find more shapes in the designer scarves edit.
How to Style Strappy Heels: Outfits, Hems and Fit
To style strappy heels, let the straps show: pair them with hems that stop above the ankle bone, and hem full length pieces so they skim the floor with only the toe on view. Black strappy sandals work with nearly every colour and fabric, while a red pair becomes the focal point of a neutral outfit. The Zimmermann pairs in the designer sandals edit sit on an 85mm heel, a height that carries you from a long lunch into dinner.
How to Style Red Heels: Colours, Outfits and Occasions
To style red heels, treat them as the one accent in an outfit built from neutrals such as chocolate, cream, navy, olive and denim, and keep other red pieces to a minimum. A red heel works with jeans, tailoring and dresses alike, as long as everything else stays quieter. The Zimmermann Resort 2027 collection shows how in its edit of designer sandals.
How to Style Bermuda Shorts: Shoes, Length and Outfit Rules
To style Bermuda shorts, treat them like tailored trousers that happen to stop just above the knee: pair them with a fitted top, a jacket with structure and a shoe that shows some foot, such as a ballet flat, a slim sandal, a loafer. Keep the waist high and the top half neat, and the length reads deliberate rather than casual. The Zimmermann ready to wear edit and our wider designer shorts collection are the places to start.
