Founder Edit: Explore our Q+A with our Founder and Creative Director Kiki, as we discuss her top picks from the collection, her personal style and her favourite styling tips
To begin, how would you describe your personal style in three words?
Relaxed, Feminine with a KIVARI Edge
What are your favourite pieces from the collection and why?
The Carolina Trench Coat and Emory Coat as they are easy to layer and style over your favourite dress or denim wardrobe staples.
Our Carolina and Olivia Trench Coats are unique takes on the traditional trench silhouette, what design features do you love most about these trench coats?
I love that they have the classic trench coat silhouette with tailored finishes but with some unique KIVARI touches such as the branded tortoise shell buttons and the earthy terracotta hue of the Carolina Trench Coat.
Our new Emory Coat is another essential as it gets cooler - how would you style it?
The Emory Coat is such a versatile silhouette and colourway so there are so many ways you can style it however for a dressier occasion I would style it over the Luciana Knit Dress and a pair of neutral boots. For day to day styling I would wear it over my staple denim pieces like the Elena Jean and a basic top like the Tallulah Scoop Tank.
Your go-to uniform when you don't know what to wear?
My Tahlia Denim Jumpsuit - an all-in-one that doesn't require much thought to look put together.
Are there any trends you are seeing at the moment that excites you about the future of fashion?
One of the most significant trends in the fashion industry is the move towards sustainability. France’s recent efforts to reduce fast fashion with the introduction of a bill aimed at curbing the negative impacts of fast fashion is groundbreaking and sets an example for other initiatives worldwide. This commitment to sustainability serves as a source of inspiration for KIVARI’s production and creative endeavours, aligning our vision with the global shift towards more responsible practices in the fashion industry.
I’m also secretly loving seeing leopard print back on the runways!
And finally, any teasers of what's to come for KIVARI this season?
Lots more outerwear is to come, oversized jackets, fluffy coats, some delicious stretch jersey dresses and another concept boutique opening in May!
