Esthis Kaftan in Ink
También disponible para probarte en nuestra boutique de Madrid — Calle Libertad 6
A sculptural caftan in Ink, finely and permanently pleated in Daphne Valente's signature technique. Cut with a dramatic, cocoon-like drape, the silhouette falls from a square neckline into voluminous folds that settle asymmetrically at the hem, framed by soft cap sleeves.
Cut from a single piece of fabric with no fasteners and no unnecessary seams, the caftan is designed to move fluidly with the body while offering full coverage and ease.
Designed to stretch to fit, with a bust stretching up to 200cm — a true one-size piece that complements any body shape.
Color: Ink • Square neckline with ruffled trim • Cap sleeves • Voluminous cocoon silhouette with asymmetric draped hem • Finely pleated, permanently set
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Daphne Valente is an Athens-based designer who has spent four decades perfecting the art of pleating. Trained at F.I.T. in New York and Central Saint Martins in London, her creative path was set the moment she encountered an exhibition on Mariano Fortuny, whose own pleated Delphos gowns became the starting point for a technique she would spend a lifetime making her own. Drawing on the sculptural forms of Ancient Greek dress, particularly the chiton, she begins each piece as a single rectangle of fabric, draped and sculpted directly on the dress form before it is permanently pleated, with no fasteners and no unnecessary seams. The result is a made-to-move, one-size silhouette designed to flatter any body, championed by a devoted following of Athenian society for decades.
