Ruby and magenta blooms slash across a cream ground textured like finely woven raffia, cut through with sharp green blades. The flowers are painted with a loaded brush and real speed, so the colour is uneven and the edges are ragged — deliberately unfinished against a very finished ground. Graphic, gestural and the boldest floral in Palmera.
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.
Mini — Falls to mid-thigh — a dress in its own right, with soft kimono sleeves and a relaxed, unstructured line. Wear it alone, belted or loose, or layer it over trousers, denim, or a slip skirt for a longer look.
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.
