Happy Fashion Focus!

The focus is on Mark Ingram Atelier’s fall 2025 collection.

About the collection:

The Fall 2025 Collection continues the narrative ‘Portrait of a Lady’ with part two,

the ultimate lady of inspiration, Mr. Ingram’s mother, Naomi.

More than a muse, the essence of his Mother inspired Mark this season, from how she dressed to even how she stood when photographed, perfectly posing and knowing her best angles. Naomi always had such an influence on Mark’s appreciation of fashion and aesthetic, from his early childhood through his career as a buyer and designer.

Her deliberate style choices….strong necklines, accenting her broad shoulders and small waistline, always in tailored fabrics and crisp lines were her go-to for decades.. “Her effortless style was chic, and it was understated, but not unnoticed. In her youth she fully adapted the ‘American Style’ of the ’50s and’ 60s, always choosing clean fabrics with structure; chic and sophisticated. She and I shared the ultimate muse, the young Audrey Hepburn.” Naomi’s essence is continually found in this season’s gowns: her poise in the structured silk mikados, her feminine sophistication within the lace fabrications and strength of character in the architectural necklines and voluminous skirts.
