Kiku is Japanese for 'chrysanthemum’ - the flower of longevity, nobility and quiet endurance. This abaya is covered in large golden chrysanthemum outlines, the flowers bold and graphic against the deep black ground, as though sketched in light across the fabric. The silhouette is generous and open, with wide sleeves that allow the flowers to move and breathe. Side slits at the hem add ease. Kiku is both botanical and architectural, a design that feels simultaneously ancient and utterly modern.
