conscious seasonless'20/21 collection
There is no beginning,
no end. Only rebirth
through your own life cycle,
across generations.
Like the Phoenix, you have
the power within,
to reinvent your beauty
from the ashes.
Three generations of women, of one family unveil the beauty of this natural cycle in seasonless’21 collection by AIKEN.
Made with scraps of fabric, this collection reimagines what was left behind into a new cycle of beauty.
