Stargazer Pixie Duster (Cropped Length)

$120.00

We are full of wonder and made of stardust and so is this marvellous piece! Created using an 1833 engraving by artist Vollmy, our Stargazer print features a night sky filled with thousands of shooting stars. Vollmy’s work depicts the earliest recorded Leonid Meteor shower, in which more than 240,000 meteors fell from the sky in one night to the amazement and astonishment of onlookers in towns and villages across North America. We like to think that 240,000 wishes were made that night too! The detailed moon on the sleeves comes from astronomy artwork produced at the Camille Flammarion Observatory near Paris in 1899.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Kimono measurements: length 60cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’3 for reference.

“I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” 

- Galileo

“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”

- Hafiz

“I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars make me dream.”

How To Wear

+

This kimono is one of our most versatile in the collection! We love it with oversized sunnies, shorts, and sandals — but it’s equally chic over a black slipdress. Pair it with the matching pants for an adorable lounge set that’s perfect for a weekend away, and then mix it up with a pair of black leggings, simple black top, and hoop earrings for a dinner out.

The visionary, the stargazer. Women who see light on the darkest night, who dwell in hope and possibility. Women who play in the stars.

More Inspo

Leonid meteor showers — a rare and spectacular phenomenon — are so named because they appear to radiate from the constellation Leo. The great Leonid shower of 1833, which is featured on our print, astounded onlookers with an incredible show that truly lit up the sky. One account estimated that over 100,000 meteors fell per hour that night! It was so significant that several nations of Native Americans marked it in important ways — including the Lakota, who reset their calendar to mark the day. Abraham Lincoln spoke about seeing it firsthand, saying “I sprang from my bed & rushed to the window, and saw the stars falling in great showers! But looking back of them at the heavens I saw all the grand old constellations with which I was so well acquainted, fixed and in their true places.”

The universe is truly wondrous, and we made this print as a reminder that anything is possible :)

She is a vault of wishes —

her chest opens
and out flies a thousand stars.
