The Kuma bustier’s defining feature is the intricate mosaic embroidery, shaped in an eclectic wave pattern, creating a scalloped neckline that extends towards the hem, at the center of the piece. This embroidery, inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, captures the ephemeral fluidity of Venus’s flowing hair, recreating the nuanced interplay of light and shadow that graces a sunlit lock. The base of Kuma is entirely pleated, reminiscent of the texture of a shell, further drawing the eye to a delicate juxtaposition with the fluid embroidery placed atop the linear pleating - much akin to the disruption of waves washing upon the clamshell, or the shore.
Kuma is a fully structured bustier, with boning, and padding for support, and can be styled on top of a skirt, or dressier pants.
