The Camilla brand and designer Camilla Franks
Australian designer Camilla Franks founded her brand Camilla in Sydney in 2004 and quickly became known worldwide for her extraordinary kaftans and colorful resort collections.
Her designs stem from a deep passion for travel and cultures. For each collection, the designer embarks on a journey of inspiration, immersing herself completely in the respective culture – from architecture and art to music and local textiles. She then transforms these impressions into artistic prints and designs together with her design team.
Today, Camilla is an internationally acclaimed luxury resortwear brand, known for its opulent patterns, luxurious fabrics, and distinctive aesthetic. Its pieces are worn worldwide – by fashion enthusiasts and international celebrities alike.
The inspiration behind Camilla 's Summer Collection 2026
The Summer 2026 collection is entirely dedicated to Spain. Flamenco, Mediterranean architecture, vibrant markets, and the passionate culture of Andalusia are reflected in the season's two new prints: Olé Olé and Flamenco Folklore . Both designs, in their own unique way, capture the atmosphere of Spanish cities, their music, movement, and artistic details.
The Olé Olé print is an homage to the passionate flamenco culture of Andalusia. Inspired by the hills of Granada and the famous Sacromonte caves, the design captures the energy of a flamenco dance. The color palette is dominated by intense reds and fiery hues , reminiscent of flowing flamenco dresses and the heat of Spanish summer nights. Floral elements and intricate ornaments lend the print movement and drama. The inspiration draws on the concept of "El Duende" —that emotional, almost magical energy that makes flamenco dance and music so unique. The print appears vibrant, powerful, and full of passion.

The second print, Flamenco Folklore , showcases a different, more tranquil side of Spanish inspiration. It evokes the narrow streets of historic cities like Granada and traditional markets brimming with spices, teas, and handcrafted artwork. The color palette is more elegant and contrasting— deep black combined with light floral embroidery and delicate ornamentation . The patterns incorporate details such as embroidered scarves, hand-painted fans, and traditional textiles found in small boutiques and market stalls. The result is a print that is simultaneously romantic, artistic, and timelessly elegant .

The cuts – iconic Camilla silhouettes
This season, kaftans and dresses take center stage. Our collection is complemented by blouses, jumpsuits , and other versatile pieces.
Kaftans are at the heart of the brand and have made Camilla famous worldwide. The flowing, often loose-fitting silhouettes appear elegant yet relaxed. A Camilla kaftan can be worn in a variety of ways: as a luxurious beach look over a swimsuit , as a light holiday look during the day, or elegantly styled for the evening.
The collection's dresses range from short, playful styles to long, flowing maxi dresses. Thanks to their intricate prints, they always look special – whether for everyday wear, holidays, or special occasions. Camilla dresses are versatile and can even be worn to elegant celebrations, garden parties, or dinners.

Materials and craftsmanship
A key element of the Camilla collections is the elaborate handcrafted production. Many prints are first hand-drawn or painted by artists in their studios before being transferred to the fabrics.
The brand is particularly characterized by its use of luxurious materials, especially silk and high-quality viscose .
Viscose, in turn, ensures a pleasant feel and a beautifully flowing silhouette. It makes the garments particularly comfortable, allowing for effortless movement and a pleasant feel against the skin.
Silk plays a key role: it is lightweight, breathable, and drapes beautifully. At the same time, it makes the intense colors of the prints appear particularly brilliant.
Another characteristic detail of many Camilla pieces is the delicate embellishment. Many designs are subtly adorned with sparkling crystals , carefully applied to the prints by hand. These discreet highlights lend the garments a special depth and make the patterns appear vibrant in the light. This effect is particularly elegant on silk . The artful embellishment has become a true Camilla trademark – a subtle glamour that further accentuates the prints and gives each piece a luxurious, almost jewelry-like quality.

From the precise placement of the prints to the decorative elements, many details are executed with great care. It is precisely this attention to detail that makes Camilla 's pieces so special.
Camilla - Versatility for every summer moment
A major advantage of Camilla pieces is their enormous versatility. Hardly any other brand manages to make luxurious fashion so effortlessly suitable for everyday wear.
These designs are perfect for beach days and holidays as a light cover-up over a swimsuit. At the same time, they look elegant enough for garden parties, summer dinners, or special events.
Worn with sandals, they create a relaxed resort look, while with jewelry and heels, the pieces can be effortlessly transformed into an elegant evening outfit. It is precisely this combination of comfort, luxury, and versatility that makes Camilla one of the most popular resortwear brands worldwide.
What makes Camilla so special

The combination of artistic, hand-drawn prints, luxurious fabrics such as silk , intense colors and flowing silhouettes makes each garment a true statement.
