Hi Sugarplum!

Spring Style | The All-New Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Cavallo Top!

April 7, 2020

Happy Tuesday, friends! I’m thrilled you found yesterday’s Tips for Working From Home post helpful… and I loved hearing more of your great ideas, too! And from the sound of it, there are quite a few of us blaming ‘Susan’ and ‘Frank’ for all the annoying things happening at home these days! (Apologies to the Susans and Franks of the world, I’m not sure why we adopted those names! But rest assured, even though they never seem to refill the paper tray in our house, they’re still super cute and fun! 😉

I’m beyond excited for today’s post… announcing the new Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Cavallo Top! When we designed this darling spring top months ago, never in our wildest dreams could we imagine a pandemic inflicting pain and havoc on virtually every household and industry, from healthcare to fashion.

Though it’s usually dismissed as frivolous (rightfully so, compared directly with the front line service industries fighting to keep people alive and fed), the fashion industry employs over 300 million people worldwide, from designers and tailors, to factory and retail workers, and it’s one of the world’s most significant fiscal heavyweights. And just like most every other industry, it’s suffered a crippling blow in the wake of this awful pandemic with countless layoffs, and store, factory, and warehouse closings.

From small brands to big box retailers, no one is immune, and it’s feared many will not survive. It’s not just your favorite local boutique in jeopardy, but also your go-to brand of denim, the online accessories shop, and even the department store that’s been around so long your grandmother shopped there.

In fact, 100s of people played a role in bringing our Cavallo Top to life, through countless hours of creativity and hard work. Many of whom are now furloughed or laid-off. So today I celebrate the amazing teams at Gibson Look and Nordstrom, and hope a part of what I’m doing can help brands and stores continue operating, while keeping employees on payroll. And in addition, I’ll be donating 100% of my commissions from this top to Feeding America.

But first, how about a little backstory on this darling new top?! The Cavallo Ruffle Neck Swing Dress was part of our Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Summer of Color Collection last year… and became an instant reader-favorite! In fact, it’s been reordered in new prints and colors three times already!

So when we sat down earlier this year to discuss Collection plans for 2020, the first thing we thought of was our most-popular dress… but in blouse form! And it turned out even better than I’d hoped… with the cutest ruffle collar and bow on the back neck! It’s a breezy woven material that drapes and flows beautifully, and just like the dress, it’s fully-lined!

I’m so excited to share the Cavallo Ruffle Neck Top for all your spring and summer styles! It easily pairs with jeans and wedges for a night out, or shorts and sandals for casual day. Layer it under a blazer or tuck in your favorite trousers once we return to the office. It’s incredibly versatile, and effortlessly chic.

Fit Tip: True to size, I’m in an XS. It’s also got a high-low hem that fully covers the bum.

I hope you’re as excited about this new addition to our ongoing Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collections as we are, and know that we designed and created it with YOU in mind. Our goal is always to bring you joy and confidence when getting dressed everyday. And with so many people involved, it goes well beyond just a cute outfit!

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm, and allowing me to share this perspective with you. I hope you love this cute new spring top, and it brightens your day!

    You’ve just made my day! This is my favorite silhouette of all time! Just ordered 3 colors and can’t wait for more to be added! Love, love, love! Would really like the “Lucca” print – will this be added to the Nordstrom site or is it exclusively for the Gibsonlook website?

      The Lucca print is a Gibson Look exclusive!!

    I love love love your line of clothes, I do wish Cavallo top could be worn with a bra.I wear a size 18 but feel much better in a bra not a strapless.

    • Cassie says: April 7, 2020 at 12:26 pm

      Hi Marcia! You can also wear a racerback-style bra with this top! I know not everyone loves a strapless! xo, Cassie

    I cried reading this just thinking of all those impacted and you are so giving! Thank you for all you do!

    Will it work with a regular bra or only with a halter top bra? Thanks for a little colorful inspiration.

      Hi Patricia! The Cavallo Top will work with a racerback-style bra or a strapless! A ‘regular’ bra most likely would not work since the shoulders are cut in a little bit! xo, Cassie

    Love this top, Cassie! The red pattern is my favorite but the ivory is a close second. Thank you for donating your profits – you do so much to lift your readers’ spirits and to help others!

      Thank you so much for the encouragement, Stephanie! I feel so badly for all my of friends and contacts in retail right now. It’s not ‘just clothes’ for the thousands of people who depend on those paychecks! xo, Cassie

    God bless Heather for purchasing all of the tops, and God bless Hi Sugarplum! I’m simply in awe of your selfless giving. The perfect pink is the one I’m getting in honor of how much you love pink. xo

    Love this idea—to bring back items from past collections. Would Gibson consider re-release of the racerback cutaway shoulder polo knit top in other fabrications. That one fits my style well. This may be a way to keep the collection going during tough times. Trying to keep my local and other woman-owned businesses in business.

    Beware! Cute top but hand wash!

      Hi Merilynn! We work hard to pick the best quality fabrics for our Collections, and oftentimes that means they’re more delicate and do require a bit more hands-on washing. xo, Cassie

    Good thing no one names their kids Susan or Frank anymore!
    This look, top, dress must surely be flattering on everyone-pure genius!
    Then I saw it in white, and how perfect the details are. That ruffled neck!!!!!
    Sad about all the hard workers in the fashion biz, especially the one’s just starting out in their passion and taking one giant step backwards. Fingers crossed everyone rebounds.
