SPLASH X KEN FERNS: BOUGAINVILLEA WONDER

Splash’s new coveted Spring/Summer collaboration saunters into a world lined with bougainvillea flowers. A creation that brings together the masterful tailoring of the fashion house and the delightful design sensibilities of the young and vibrant Ken Ferns— this exclusive capsule collection gives you a taste of sweet spring with the most exuberating silhouettes and colors.

The world that Splash X Ken Ferns invites you into is an extension of the designer’s unique perspective that sees magic in the ordinary. While daffodils, lilies, and primroses are typical of Spring, his fascination lingers on the brightly colored Bougainvillea vines that grow with wild abandon. Their unmissable beauty, the myriad colors they bloom with, and the romance and delicacy of the vivid paper flowers manifest themselves in every curated look of the limited collection.

A sense of fluidity persists across the key pieces that embrace a palette resonating with a flamboyance that is characteristic of Ken Fern’s signature style. With whimsical yet practical garments suitable for the weather, the collection consists of workday shirts, floral blouses, billowing kaftans, elegant overlays, and exquisite floral maxis that embody grace and ethereal floral beauty.

 

Find below an exclusive preview of the collection, set to transform your formal and casual dressing this fashion season.

Splash X Ken Ferns printed overlays

With overlays taking over the status of an essential from a mere add-on, the collection has a generous edit of flowy layers to elevate your spring dressing. With details like long sleeves and modest necklines, the collection pays homage to the quintessential Arab woman who weaves a tapestry of original fashion inspired by traditional design codes.

 

Splash X Ken Ferns workwear

While including transitional workwear, the Splash X Ken Fern collab introduces an imaginative juxtaposition of brightly colored bougainvillea vines in pink, yellow, red, and orange against a pastel palette to give a painterly feel to the pieces. The ultra-feminine silhouettes crafted from airy fabrics keep the sweltering heat of the Middle Eastern summers at bay while rendering effortless grace.

Bringing the beauty of bougainvillea in vivid prints and patterns - the collection debuts maxi-length dresses with undulating, voluminous sleeves, and modest necklines. The pieces express femininity with soft lines and subtle details yet manage to stand out, much like the Bougainvillea vines that inspired their creation.

 

The Splash X Ken Ferns collection will be available in-store and online from July 2023.
