“Simply put, the Santa Barbara based designer Catherine Gee makes the best blouses ever.”

Shifting from the cool, chic styles of autumn to a spring renewal in fashion comes naturally to Catherine Gee, whose Spring/Summer 2025 collection follows a fresh take on her familiar theme—luxurious coastal lifestyle. The Santa Barbara, Calif., designer thrives along the coast, whether at home along the American Riviera or visiting locales such as Italy’s Sardinia, Greece or Croatia.

While Gee’s eponymous brand launched in 2015, her first collection of silk pieces was released in 2016 so, to celebrate this milestone, she revisited some of her favorite designs such as the Paint Swirl, Cosmos and Valencia prints and Siena slip skirt.
“My inspiration was exactly how it was in the beginning, with growth and evolution. Back then, I set out to design a very clean capsule collection of silk-linen resort-inspired travel pieces,” Gee explained. “I thought, ‘Let’s bring out the greatest hits.’ The print that sings to me still is that paint swirl. I thought about classic silhouettes that have become staples of Catherine Gee collections.”
