Our latest delivery from Christian Peau has arrived in all its shimmering glory. The colors of the silks sing—deep jewel tones of green and blue, earthy hues of terracotta and orange as well as a playful pink gingham.
Founder and designer Junji Koike works from the Christian Peau studio in Kobe, Japan, a harbor city nestled between Osaka Bay and the Rokko mountain range. Junji crafts his garments with incredible skill and attention to subtle details, such as a silk skirt with a pair of ribbon suspenders that double as a drawstring. The dresses, jackets and tops in this collection are tailored with a breezy silhouette, making them perfect for warmer days.
Junji works with golden silk—a textile is made by the golden haired yellow wild silkworm native to Southeast Asia. Golden silk is shiny, vivid and strong, in part because of its high levels of sericin which allow the silk to be washable while still preserving the vibrancy of the color.
