Cruise · MMXXVI
The LongMediterraneanAfternoon.
A European maison for the resort set. Dressed between Saint-Tropez, Capri, and the Hamptons — drawn in our atelier, made by hand in Europe.
Manifesto
We do not make seasonal collections. We dress a life — a long lunch on a wooden boat, a tennis match before the heat, a dinner that begins after the sun has gone. The clothes are quiet. The hours are not.
— The House
The Collections
Five wardrobes for one summer.
Yacht Club
Linen, cotton poplin, hand-rolled silk — built for sea air and salt wind.
Tennis Club
Crisp whites, knife pleats, performance pique with the house crest.
Resort Club
Resort silhouettes drawn from a summer between Capri and Cap-Ferrat.
Dinner Collection
Soft-shouldered tailoring and column gowns for late, candlelit hours.
Signature Atelier
Couture pieces made by appointment in our European atelier.
The Season
Photographed at the Hôtel du Cap, on a Thursday in June.
The Cruise 26 collection was photographed over four days on the Riviera — at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, on a wooden Riva pulled from the boathouse, and at a small private terrace above Villefranche. No studios. No retouching of the light.
The Designer
A house drawn by hand,
between Paris and Como.
Yummi Couture was founded on a small premise: that a woman dressing for the long summer deserves clothes drawn for her, not for an algorithm.
The Maison sketches every silhouette by hand in a studio above the Rue de Sèvres, cuts each pattern in our atelier outside Como, and finishes every signature piece by a small house of European seamstresses we have worked with for years.
We release two collections a year. We do not chase trends. We dress a life.
Craftsmanship
Four passes from sketch to finished garment.
The Sketch
Each season begins with hand-drawn croquis in the atelier — never a moodboard, never a screen.
The Toile
A first cut in unbleached cotton. Fitted, re-cut, fitted again, until the silhouette is exact.
The Cloth
We travel to the mill, choose the bolt, and reserve the run. Every fabric has a name and a maker.
The Hand
Constructed by a small house of pattern-cutters and finishers in Europe. Hand-finished where the eye will land.
Materials
The cloth, by name.
We do not buy from a converter. We travel to the mill, choose the bolt, reserve the run. Every fabric in the Maison has a name, a maker, and a village on a small map of Europe.
Como Silk
Mulberry silk woven on heritage looms outside Como — soft, weighted, quietly luminous.
Biella Cashmere
Two-ply baby cashmere from the Biellese mills, brushed by hand for a feather hand-feel.
Belgian Linen
Long-fiber European flax, sun-dried and stone-washed for the perfect resort drape.
Cotton Velour
Our signature 380gsm cotton velour, woven exclusively for the Maison.
