le kimono plissé (black)

Inspired by the volumes of the kimono, this abaya is crafted from 100% linen and designed around texture, dimension and movement. Its long, generous silhouette fastens at the front with integrated ties, creating a wrapped effect while preserving the relaxed fluidity associated with kimono construction.

The defining feature of the piece is its unconventional pleating technique. Rather than traditional, perfectly uniform pleats, the fabric features irregular, almost crinkled lines that create an organic three-dimensional texture across the surface. These textured areas alternate with smoother sections, creating a subtle contrast between plain and pleated finishes.

The wide sleeves continue this interplay of textures through contrasting panels that enhance their volume and bring further dimension to the silhouette.

Fully lined in chiffon, the abaya maintains a lightweight, fluid drape despite the richness of its textile construction. A deliberately distinctive piece where the irregularity of the pleating becomes an essential part of the design.
