Quietly dynamic, Kuwaii’s AW11 collection is coming into its own. Aptly entitled ‘In Spirit I Was Always Here’ the collection reflects what was lurking in Kuwaii all along—a ghost of impeccable design. Now at the fore, this ghost has emerged into tangibility with expert drapery, curious geometry and soft origami like folds. Groomed to architectural perfection, Kuwaii’s AW11 collection is proportionally perfect in terms of elegant refinement and intricate detailing.
Set against a palette of tonal creams, greys and sharp black, royal blue and blood red pop delightfully, giving winter dressing a sense of joy. Harlequin like square patterns feature sparingly—nothing here is over done. Key pieces include some very gorgeous sheer trousers and draped cut out dresses in all shades of peach or bursting red or deepest blue. Actually, to hell with it—spend your whole budget on Kuwaii this season. It all works so perfectly, and translates so effortlessly from day to night and work to party there’s no use in trying to fight against it.
