MARKET OF STARS - I DREAM IN FLOWERS CROPPED KIMONO

Market of Stars will donate a percentage of profits from every I Dream In Flowers kimono sold to bee conservation and protection in North America.

A riotous, painterly celebration of art and the natural world, this exquisite piece is all at once romantic, ethereal, and so so cool. Inspired by the romance of European flower markets, we created this kimono using a masterful oil painting from the early 1600’s by artist Jan Brueghel, and an ink drawing of bumblebees we found in a Victorian insect encyclopedia. It has the look of a treasured vintage piece that will never go out of style. Dress it up or down — either way, expect compliments!

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Kimono measurements: length 60cm, width 74 cm (across back, underarm to underarm). Model is 5’5” for reference.

How to Wear:

This delightful, painterly piece will be your new favorite for elevating your wardrobe basics! Throw it on with jeans or linen pants for an everyday chic look or pair it with a long tiered skirt, vintage belt, and statement jewelry for a bohemian vibe.  We also love this one crisscrossed and French-tucked in to the matching Artist pants for an adorable set that will take you from day to night with ease :)

The Poem:

In the dark, she dreams flowers.
Larkspur and lilac, white hawthorn
blooming moonlight on the bed. In the cotton
and hay her breath shivers with perfume and pollen,
a feast for bees. Their soft velvet hum like a blanket.
She dreams flowers, white lilies
line the path to her heart like lanterns. Her chest is tangled
and tender, the prickles of regret
the sweet hope of alyssum. Her arms
are strong as branches, fists
a flourish of blossoms she will not let go.
