summer 25 - kea
KEA is our most personal and collaborative collection to date. For the first time ever, I opened the doors of my studio to a select group of our top DIARRABLU muses. Through a series of intimate, crowdsourced co-design sessions, these incredible women were invited into the heart of the creative process, and together, we brought this collection to life.
Exclusive prints were voted on digitally, color palettes were created together, and early silhouettes were shared in private design calls I hosted with our community. We gathered real-time feedback and truly took it to heart.
Together, we shaped the vision for KEA, a collection that speaks directly to the lives, dreams, and individuality of the women who inspire everything I do.
Set on the sun-drenched Greek island of Kea, this summer collection feels like a visual diary of slow mornings, golden light, and the sound of Aegean waves. Seafoam and deep blues mirror the calm sea; chalky neutrals and sun-faded terracotta recall hillside villages; hand-painted florals and coral details evoke a rich life above and below the waterline. The silhouettes move like the breeze, long caftans, sculptural swimwear, airy dresses, and relaxed separates designed for sensuality, elegance, and ease.
But KEA is more than a summer story. It’s a bold expression of our mission at DIARRABLU: achieving sustainability through innovation. Each piece is made-to-order, reducing waste and eliminating excess inventory, while preserving craftsmanship, beauty, and purpose.
KEA is my love letter to the freedom of summer and to the incredible community that surrounds this brand. It’s about breathing deeply, dressing freely, and remembering the joy of simply being somewhere between sea and sky. This collection was shaped by the women who wear it. It’s theirs as much as it is mine.
Crafted by skilled artisans in Senegal and India, KEA is also a tribute to everything we believe in: slow beauty, shared stories, and circular design. From co-designing with our community to producing in small batches, this collection reflects our vision for a more conscious and connected fashion future.
Thank you for being part of it. 💙
