Great washes of scarlet and flame open across the silk, cooled at the edges by sage and cream. It is painted rather than drawn — the flowers are suggested by the movement of colour rather than described by any line — and on the sheer ground it glows rather than sits. Bold from a distance, almost abstract up close.
Long Kaftan — Cut full and fluid to just above the ankle — a maxi-length dress, with deep kimono sleeves and an unstructured line that skims rather than clings. Over a swimsuit at noon; with a heel and a gold cuff after dark.
Top — The shortest of the three, hitting at the top of the thigh, just below the waist, with a wide boat neck and fluid kimono sleeves. Sharpest over something high-waisted — wide-leg trousers, a column skirt, good denim.
Printed on mulberry silk. One size, generously cut. Cool hand wash or dry clean.
Also photographed as the Flame Bloom Mini.
