Strelitzia — Long Kaftan

from $185.00

Bird of paradise in coral and gold, opening across white silk inside a deep navy frame. The flowers are drawn at close range and near life size, so the print reads as a handful of very large blooms rather than a repeating pattern, and the navy border gives it the discipline of a scarf. The most classically resort print in the collection.

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.
