Kulani Kinis and Oceanus Launch At The After Party
Kulani Kinis, an Australian swimwear and lifestyle brand, has partnered with British womenswear label Oceanus for a limited capsule collection titled 'At The After Party.' The release revolves around "a distinctly sun-soaked Kulani Kinis print, reimagined through the Oceanus universe."
The 'At The After Party' capsule includes Kulani Kinis’ swimwear styles alongside Oceanus’ dresses, bodysuits, and coordinated separates, with the latter incorporating hand-worked detailing and embellishment. The aesthetic draws upon what both brands describe as an escapist, confident aesthetic that merges nostalgic print energy with refined finishing touches.
Positioned as a meeting point between the Kulani Kinis and Oceanus, the chic 'At The After Party' capsule is strategically launched in the period leading up to Coachella. Kulani Kinis Co-Founder Dani Atkins shared: "We always daydreamed about what might happen if our prints stepped into the Oceanus world… and then somehow, after all that wishing, we collided."
