Twinkle Hanspal, known for her refined minimalism and contemporary design language, announced the launch of her latest Resort Collection, founded under the motto 'It Gets Late so Early', a curation that blends quiet glamour with functional ease, crafted for the woman who moves seamlessly from holiday escapes to elevated everyday living. Rooted in the brand’s signature aesthetic of clean lines, fluid silhouettes, and a soft, understated palette, the Resort Collection is an exploration of lightness both in form and feeling. Expect a harmony of breezy fabrics, versatile co-ords, relaxed tailoring, and sculptural drapes that redefine modern vacation dressing. The collection captures the spirit of escape; sun-drenched days, ocean horizons, and intimate evenings with pieces that can be layered, transitioned, and styled effortlessly. Every garment echoes the brand’s philosophy: timeless pieces designed to last beyond seasons.
What inspired the mood of your new Resort Collection?
This season draws from the quintessential TH woman, who embraces the spotlight with confidence, yet always with a composed, effortless presence. The mood is shaped by her rhythm: social, confident, and always in motion, yet drawn to pieces that balance structure with ease. We’ve taken that energy and distilled it into clean, fluid silhouettes with understated details - elevated enough for evening, but grounded in the simplicity that defines the brand.
How do you define ‘quiet glamour’ in the context of your design language?
At the brand’s core, glamour is expressed through balanced pieces that feel spontaneous in spirit yet are built with intention. The silhouettes hold quiet contrasts: soft drapes with subtle structure, clarity of form with just enough depth to leave an impression. Nothing feels excessive, yet everything is considered, allowing the garment to express its elegance in the way it moves and interacts with the wearer. Resort wear often blends ease with elegance.
How did you approach that balance?
We’ve always believed that ease, elegance & glamour can coexist when you design from the inside, and move outwards. The starting point was the body, understanding how it moves, how it rests, how it transitions. From there we engineered patterns that offer structure without rigidity and softness with collapse. Resortwear to us, should feel instinctive. These are clothes that travel well through spaces and moods, carrying lightness but still upholding a sense of refinement.
Can you talk about the fabrics and textures that shaped this collection?
We continued working with materials that are central to our brand like cottons, handloom blends, and fluid silks that are familiar, breathable, and culturally grounded. Each season, we introduce one textile expression that becomes the soul of the line. This time, the embroidery brings a more playful dimension, but still stays within the language of subtlety. The textures aren’t meant to overpower; they’re designed to create quiet depth, the kind of depth you notice only when you experience the garment up close.
How does this line build on your signature minimalism?
Our minimalism isn’t about reduction and rather about intention. This collection takes some of our most complex draping and pattern-making techniques and distills them into silhouettes that feel deceptively simple. Everything is engineered to function across contexts: AM to PM, travel to celebration, weekday to weekend. For us, minimalism is successful when the garment feels effortless, but the intelligence behind it is unmistakable.
Who is the woman you imagine wearing these pieces?
She’s someone whose life moves in multiple directions at once: work, travel, friendships, spontaneity. She values clarity in her wardrobe, pieces that adapt and don’t demand negotiation. She appreciates design, but she’s not performing it. What she wears needs to feel authentic, functional, and quietly expressive. Above all, she gravitates toward pieces that stay with her, emotionally and practically.
What does timelessness mean to you as a designer today?
Timelessness, for us, is not an aesthetic, it’s an outcome. A piece becomes timeless when it continues to serve the wearer across seasons, occasions, and phases of her life. If you instinctively reach for something again and again because it aligns with your pace, your mood, your identity and that’s when it transcends time. As designers, our responsibility is to create clothes that hold relevance not for one moment, but for many.
Which look or element from the collection feels most personal to you, and why?
The denim look in this collection feels particularly very meaningful because it challenged our very own design vocabulary. Translating our signature fluidity, usually expressed through silks and softer textiles into a more structured fabric required rethinking our whole approach to drapes and movement. The result sits at the intersection of contrast and harmony. Like structure balanced with ease & sharpness softened with elegant flow. In many ways it reflects the core of our design philosophy: quiet contradictions that come together naturally like poetry.
