Browsing the internet, I came across a fabulous range of Canadian artwear from Kaliyana, sold online via Shon Modern. Love the style, comfort and design plus there’s lots of black. Yummy.
Kaliyana have also developed a great idea called the Anti Suit which is a deconstructed take on the business suit for office wear, based on three or four mix and match pieces in black and white. If I were working, I would have snapped this up. Click on the Anti Suit link to see what it is about – it’s not rocket science but it is neatly done.
Fitting plus sizes up to a US22-24 (UK 24-26), the entire range has an unstructured aesthetic that will appeal to lovers of Miyake, Yamamoto, Eskandar etc. but with a more practical price point and fabric appeal.
Sadly, Shon Modern do not appear to ship to the UK but anywhere across North America seems fine. I like so much of this range, I may email and see if I am able to persuade them to do a ‘special’ just for me.
Do let me know if you like it and/or know of any other ranges/designers with a similar aesthetic that do ship to the UK.
