Reigniting the resort’s authentic mainstay of style and creativity, Rosewood le Guanahani St. Barth is pleased to announce an exclusive collaboration with contemporary sportswear line Pompom Paris by Lola Rykiel.
Bringing in a fresh wave of Parisian fashion to the newly opened resort, the concept pays homage to the island’s French roots. The pop-up boutique opened on January 24th for a three-month run and will offer a line of custom-tailored items that encapsulate the vibrant energy and unique culture of St. Barth.
Joie de vivre, the ultimate French expression describes the fashion-forward activation that underscores Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barths, ‘A Sense of Place’ philosophy, wherein the exclusive ethos of destination is woven into the identity of the property.
Lola Rykiel, French designer and founder of Pompom Paris launched the brand in 2019 as a collection of chic leisurewear, inspired by her dancing background and symbolic of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ attire. The ‘Pompom Girl’ style is the very essence of French fashion – a refined look that appears elegantly effortless.
In partnership with Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, Rykiel has designed limited-edition clothing items, some of which are only available at La Boutique, the resorts waterfront boutique venue. Rykiel’s capsule collection includes free-flowing, comfortable pieces that range from strass crystal-embellished pullovers, luxe velour tracksuits, yoga-wear, and a remarkable curated tee that reads ‘MISS SAINT BARTH’ in Pompom Paris’ emblematic font.
“We couldn’t imagine a more fitting partner for the Boutique at Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth than Pompom Paris,” said Martein van Wagenberg, managing director of Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth. “Pompom Paris is elegant yet sensual, polished yet effortless, simple yet alluring. Lola Rykiel’s vision for her brand falls perfectly in line with the ethos of our resort, and we are excited to showcase the very essence of St. Barth through her pieces.”
“I am honoured for Pompom Paris to be part of the legendary Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth experience and to be able to diffuse the collection’s irreverent spirit with a selection of items specifically curated for the resort’s glamorous, well-travelled, modern woman,” said Lola Rykiel, designer and founder of Pompom Paris. “I hope this collaboration will bring a touch of Parisian whimsy to such an iconic moment in the history of Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth and infuse the dynamic attitude of the Pompom woman into the most spectacular destination on the island.”
