"  Photo: Courtesy of Barneys We happened to have been wearing a signature camo-and-striped Edith A. Miller tee when we heard the brand was collaborating with Barneys New York on a line for the store&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;XO&amp;quot; program (items sold exclusively at Barneys). So needless to say, this collaboration gets a big ELLE stamp of approval! Nancy Gibson and Jennifer Murray, the design duo behind Edith A. Miller, are known for adding a cool factor to otherwise preppy separates, and they have enticed us once again with variations of mix-matched nautical stripes, of-the-moment camouflage, and leopard-print tees and dresses. Gibson and Murray, a rather unlikely pair\u2014they&amp;#039;re two decades apart in age with varied career credentials\u2014bonded over vintage Robert P. Miller striped T-shirts at an event on Fire Island back in 2010. They later launched Edith A. Miller as a nod to its big brother label. We were excited to chat with these ultra-cool design ladies about the collaboration process with Barneys, as well as what we can look forward to next. What was your favorite part of the design process and working with Barneys on this exclusive collection? Murray: The Barneys team is super creative and we were flattered that they were inspired by our story. They were willing to try things we have never done before and use new fabrics like the marine camo. Barneys loved the blue camo and from there, Jennifer and I started creating and proposing different combinations in tandem with our classic stripes for consideration. Gibson: Their display team has done an amazing job styling the collection\u2014the looks really soak in the details of the brand and exactly how we love to see our brand worn. We especially love the cut-offs and slashed jeans they paired our tops with, which is perfect for right now. How would you style the tee now for summer and later for fall? Murray: Wear it now with cut-off jean shorts or overalls, and later in the fall pair it with a navy pleated skirt, tights, and a classic leather motorcycle jacket. Gibson: The Barneys team thought wearing the tees and minis with leggings would be a perfect way to wear the pieces this fall, and I agree! What prints can we look forward to seeing mixed next? Gibson: We are working with other prints we love: stars, polka dots, and zebra. We also have some artist collaboration prints in the works. The tees and dresses are currently available in stores and online at Barneys.com and range from $80 to $160. So will you be adding a trip to Barneys to your weekend plans, too?
