This beautifully tailored dress features a sleek black upper with waist cutout and a flowing white skirt with an asymmetrical hem that creates fluid movement. Soft, breathable fabric ensures all-day comfort.
When it comes to beachside glamour, the newly launched Lyla Grace Collection by South Shore designer Andria Blackman embodies a style that is elegant and enduring. Launched in 2024, the collection offers a curated selection of summer dresses, beach cover-ups and coastal-inspired wardrobe essentials.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for years–as an actor (Chappaquiddick), stuntwoman (The Perfect Couple), and model–Blackman has a keen appreciation for high-quality fashion that tells a story.
“Whenever I was at a photo shoot or on a movie set, I would meet stylists and designers and become fascinated by their creative process,” says Blackman. After years of collecting fashion inspiration on Pinterest boards and inside binders stuffed with pages torn from magazines, Blackman decided to put her creativity to work by designing her own resort capsule collection.
“I believe in creating thoughtfully designed, small-batch collections that transcend trends and become core pieces of your wardrobe that you reach for time and time again,” says Blackman, who named her brand after the middle names of her two young daughters. Lyla Grace reflects Blackman’s commitment to quality, clean lines, luxurious fabrics, and refined color palettes. To learn more about the Lyla Grace Collection, visit lylagracecollection.com.
