The Print
What flower is that? Ochid? Hibiscus? A floral that keeps you guessing. How far can you abstract a floral before it falls apart? If you use a classic vintage silkscreen size (29” repeat) with a very loose illustration will the print hold together? What actually creates a resonant print?
The film “Blue Hawaii” came out in 1961. It was a golden era for Aloha shirts. 1961 was developed from those vintage prints. Ours is an illustration of an illustration. A cousin twice removed.

The Form
Origami is a true labor of love for us, trying to capture that 70s sense of glamour. With its complex pleating and interesting back profile this will be a special occasion dress for years to come.
We cut and sew each one on a made to order basis in our barn studio in Upstate NY.
The fabric is printed in Italy on BCI Cotton.
