When it comes to sleep, Haley Worley is something of an expert: the Sheet Society founder has been designing chic bedding in natural fabrics for almost a decade. That fabric-forward sensibility — combined with her fashion production creds from Melbourne-based boutique Tiger Mist and British designer Ted Baker — shines in Resting, her loungewear label that debuted last month. When plans for the loungewear brand began two years ago, Haley initially imagined a resort-ready take on sleepwear that wouldn't look out of place on The White Lotus. Set in a different ultra-luxury destination every season, the TV show is known for its elegant holiday wardrobe: think floaty designer dresses, printed silk shirts and linen pants. "We were going to lean into [the sort of] resting you do on a holiday. It was going to have palm prints and be like hotel merch," Haley says. "You spend a lot of money on swimwear and beachwear for a holiday, but you spend a lot of time in your pyjamas. If I'm going on a holiday and staying in a room with someone else, I need proper pyjamas." t felt like a good opportunity to, like, capture that customer who was shopping for their holiday wardrobe, and our product was just kind of one part of it. But I think, you know, we've got plenty of time to tell those types of stories as the brand evolves." As with many creative projects, the collection was whittled down. The 30-piece core collection leans into offering a range of sleepwear silhouettes — a mix of close-to-body, femme, unisex and masculine styles
