“To stir, to set in motion.”
From the Ancient Greek kineō.
Kineo is cut wide-legged, and languid, prioritising movement in both cut and conceptual origin. Made out of a fluid, olive-toned chiffon, Kineo forms delicate water-like flares that respond to the motion of the body. The lower hem is treated with tonal appliqué work in a cool blue-grey, abstracted from marine and botanical motifs taken from Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, and illustrated works that tie together with the Basra Tapestry. The embroidery’s placement at the base of the trousers to look like a puddle of water collected at the wearer’s feet as if they had just gotten out of the ocean, circling back to the reason the colour scheme was chosen. Kineo is engineered to carry visual interest downward, elongating the body and anchoring the look when paired with more textural upper garments such as those within The Basra Tapestry.
