Spring Fashion 2026 – Spring Softly

Image source: IN Noosa Magazine

There is something radical about shooting a fashion story at a health retreat – a place built entirely around the idea that how you feel matters more than how you look. We leaned into that with sustainable fabrics and ethically produced garments that feel at home in the beautiful natural environment that is Living Valley Health Retreat in picturesque Kin Kin. Which is exactly why we chose the location – a slow, soft start to spring.

This is the season (and location) for exhaling. Fashion you can move in, sit down in, walk through wet grass in. Florals that flow, bare feet where it made sense. Light linen and organic cotton.

Step softly into spring at Living Valley.
