Chiomara – Samantha Knaust

Chiomara is a womenswear resort collection inspired by the overlooked beauty of moths. Using a combination of bamboo rib knit, linen cotton blend and a sanded satin, all these looks have been hand painted, dyed or hand pleated to showcase the delicate details in a moth’s wings. Details include hand pleating, painting and dyeing. Garments will be appreciated by a trend-conscious woman who cares deeply about the environment and has an appreciation for artisanal work.
