With a perfectly balanced harmony of form and function, the Kuwaii aesthetic is at once both strikingly simple and intricately precise. Clean lines, classic silhouettes, understated detailing and perfect proportions create a sense of effortless beauty. And yet, upon closer inspection a hidden world of subtle intricacies is revealed: a quality of workmanship, fabrics and finishing's, refined tailoring and precise techniques. An intelligent study of design and production, which is as much philosophical as it is fashionable. Nothing is accidental here, not a stitch out of place. Not one needless fold or unnecessary drape. Exquisite fabrics are weighted to perfection again precision cutting and French seams. Graceful in their strength, feminine yet never frivolous, modern yet timeless, Kuwaii garments are equally as suited to a bustling city street, a busy cafe or shaded laneway dinner, as they are to giggling bike rides and meadow larking afternoons with bare feet and sun kissed cheeks. Kuwaii is the soft-spoken genius, the quiet beauty, the champion of delicate deliberateness. Kuwaii is the creation of Brunswick-based designer Kristy Barber who, following her award as Student Designer of the Year at the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, cut her fashion-teeth through internships with cult Australian brands Arnsdorf and Lover, as well as a stint in New York at the Phillip Lim 3.1 atelier.
