Editors’ Notes

We get the sense that Johnny Was’ moodboard was filled with fantastical fairytale references when dreaming up this new season Ariela Velvet Button Front Kimono. It’s made from deep-blue silk-blend velvet and hand-embroidered with multi-coloured motifs–from unicorns and songbirds to the brand’s iconic florals–that instantly imbue it with a divine sense of wonder and intrigue. It has a V-neckline that drops into a short button placket with neat self-covered buttons, then finishes at a knee-skimming hem. ¾-length flared sleeves are complete with split cuffs that highlight the fluid drape of the luxury velvet fabric. Mirror the styling from The Forme’s fall/winter campaign by wearing yours atop wide-leg velvet pants in a tonal shade of blue.
