It’s no wonder Barbara Tfank feels deeply connected to the film world—she’s a designer based in Los Angeles. Recently, she’s been tuning into Netflix’s remake of The Leopard, set in 19th-century Sicily (though she suggests watching Visconti’s 1963 classic first before diving into the series). Her own designs reveal why she’s drawn to period films—she adores timeless, meticulously crafted pieces.

Her Fall 2025 collection, while far more contemporary than The Leopard’s opulent gowns, still carries a royal elegance. Off-the-shoulder dresses come in varied styles, from classic brocade to delicate lace with a fresh, youthful charm. Responding to clients’ requests for more daytime-friendly options, Tfank introduced a versatile skirt that pairs perfectly with a button-up or a sleek turtleneck—while its dainty matching capelet easily transitions it for evening wear.
