The 60-piece collection of women's and men's apparel and accessories is a collaboration between the Gap Inc. brand and Milly founder and designer Michelle Smith.

The collection's pieces are inspired by the summer sophistication of the Hamptons, New York's tony seaside resort area, according to a release.

Banana Republic's creative director Simon Kneen says in the release that the designer's keen sense of colour, print and pattern are the perfect complement to Banana Republic, and her Hamptons-chic style is a new take on aspirational summer dressing for the brand's consumers. The collection features maxi dresses, mini-skirts and shorts in splashes of neon for her as well as bright polos, woven tees and shorts in bold prints for him.

The men's styles represent Smith's first foray into designing menswear. Smith calls it a happy collection with colours and patterns that capture the modern spirit of summer.

Prices range from $24.50 to $175.

A spokeswoman for Banana Republic could not confirm whether the collection would be available at the Park Royal store location.
