Tibi’s Spring 2027 Collection: A Tribute to Dolly Parton’s Spirit

At the recent Spring 2027 showcase, Tibi's founder and creative director, Amy Smilovic, drew inspiration from the vibrant culture of Nashville, aiming to capture the essence of individuality and comfort in fashion. Rather than leaning into traditional Southern attire, Smilovic focused on the authentic expressions of those who confidently embrace their unique styles.

The collection kicked off with a standout ensemble: a relaxed-fitting blazer teamed with slouchy dark-wash jeans and eye-catching snake-print cowboy boots. This look set the tone for a range of garments that celebrated Southern ease, while still reflecting Tibi’s hallmark minimalist aesthetic. Button-down shirts featuring distinctive yokes, gingham jackets, and metal-tipped collars further exemplified this blend of comfort and style.

In a nod to Nashville’s rich musical heritage, Smilovic expressed admiration for trailblazers like Dolly Parton, who embody authenticity. “We were really interested in the visionaries who started the Grand Ole Opry and Dolly Parton,” she noted, highlighting the significance of being true to oneself.

Among her favorite pieces is a nostalgic scarf skirt adorned with her Nashville-inspired artwork. Smilovic explained, “Tibi is about to have its 30th birthday next spring, and the scarf skirt is what launched my brand. It’s a nice way to reminisce.” As the presentation concluded, a heartfelt tribute to Parton played out with her iconic song, “I Will Always Love You,” as models took to the runway, encapsulating the spirit of the event.
