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’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-paradise) [swimwear styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty) 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."
