Poolside Gossip Fashion: Shop Trina Turk’s Modern Palm Springs-Inspired Collection
Let’s talk about fashion history that never gets old! If you’re a fan of Palm Springs style (and honestly, who isn’t?), you definitely know that famous Slim Aarons photo from 1970 – “Poolside Gossip.” You know the one – those fabulous ladies lounging by that stunning modernist pool, serving pure desert glamour in yellow and white outfits that still make us swoon decades later.
Well, guess what? Trina Turk just dropped a collection that brings those iconic looks into 2025, and trust me, you’re going to want every piece!
The Iconic Photo That Started It All
If you need a quick refresher: the original photo features Nelda Linsk in that amazing yellow two-piece and Helen Kaptur rocking a white lace ensemble, both lounging like the style queens they were at the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs. It’s basically the perfect capture of that casual-yet-totally-fabulous California cool that we’re all still trying to achieve. It’s the life that I’m manifesting for myself if we’re being honest!
Why I’m Obsessed
Trina has absolutely nailed this revival with two standout sets that give major nods to the original looks:
The Nelda Linsk Set takes that geometric yellow moment and updates it with modern fabrics that move with you. The high-waisted pants and structured top maintain that architectural vibe but feel totally 2025. This set also comes in white and I think would be perfect for a bridal weekend!
The “Helen Dzo Dzo Collection” reimagines that dreamy white lace look with contemporary touches. It’s such a stunning set that comes with a nude liner for the top and pants so it’s comfortable to wear! I wore the set to the Trina Turk Fashion Show and let me tell you that I was the moment! I had a chance to meet Nelda at this event and we gabbed about vintage fashion – it was a dream moment for sure!
These pieces are totally wearable for everything from your next Palm Springs getaway to summer brunches or resort vacations. What makes this collection so special is how it captures that Palm Springs magic – those bold colors, architectural lines, and that effortless elegance that looks like you’re not trying too hard (even though we know better!). The pieces mix and match beautifully, so you can create your own desert chic moment.
