Imaginarium Matinée Duster (Mid Length)

$129.00

Welcome to the Imaginarium — a whimsical ode to imagination, and the wonder of dreams! Perhaps our most elaborate design yet, we used 9 different works of art layered together to create this romantic & airy print. The sleeping woman comes from Albert Joseph Moore’s enchanting oil painting “Lillies”, while the elements of her dreamscape were created from drawings and paintings spanning three centuries — including scenes from the Boboli Gardens, Argyle House in Scotland, the Tiber River, a Japanese manor house, and a view through the arches of the Roman Colosseum. The 16 candle Chandelier is an imaginary design from a drawing done in 1632, and the fanciful trim is taken from an English textile fragment from 1785. Whatever the realities of life may be, we’ll always dwell in our own little dreamworld — come join us ;)

Kimono measurements: length 78cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’6” for reference.

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest dreams. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”
- Louisa May Alcott

“I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.”
- Charles de Lint

“I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming to remain sane.”
- Florence Welch

The dreamer, the visionary. Women who drift beneath moonlight and chandeliers, who see worlds within worlds. Women who dream on.

More Inspo

Albert Joseph Moore was a remarkable19th century painter who seemed to live in a world spun from silk and sunlight. Known for his dreamy depictions of languid figures reclining amidst waves of flowing drapery, Moore’s work is like an invitation to a timeless, enchanted realm. Born the youngest of 14 children in a family brimming with artistic talent, he grew up with creativity buzzing around him like a hive. But while others pursued fame or fortune, Moore chased perfection in his art—often spending hours arranging folds of fabric until they cascaded just so, like ripples on a still pond. Financial struggles shadowed much of his life, but Moore refused to let practicality disturb his world of beauty. His paintings, like A Summer Night or Lilies, are now seen as love letters to stillness and serenity, where every line and colour sings softly, as if in a dream.

The Poem

Flight

In sleep, my lungs
are wings. At first curled
wet and tight, they hatch
with every breath,
unfurl across the bed
to fill my room. Feathers
everywhere, the soft
warm hum of them
pressing the walls
whispering against windows
to the stars:

tell the moon
I am on my way.
