KIMONO SLEEVE CASHMERE SHIRT
A long-sleeved shirt defined by its fluid silhouette and sculptural volume. Cut with relaxed kimono sleeves that extend seamlessly from the body, the design creates a continuous line that enhances both comfort and movement.
At the back, TKA's signature drape is created through a fan-shaped pattern construction inspired by the architectural cutting techniques found in couture coatmaking. This distinctive construction forms a soft balloon-like volume, introducing depth and movement while maintaining the garment's relaxed character.
Crafted from 100% cashmere woven by one of Italy's historic mills, the fabric combines exceptional softness with a subtle structure. Light yet enveloping, it offers the comforting sensation of wrapping oneself in a soft cashmere blanket while retaining the refinement of a tailored shirt.
Rather than relying on embellishment, the design focuses on proportion, volume, and the relationship between the body and the garment. The result is a piece that feels both architectural and understated.
Balancing couture-inspired pattern cutting with everyday functionality, this shirt embodies TKA's idea of sculptural everyday couture.
More than a cashmere shirt, it is an exploration of movement, form, and comfort.
