“The Rising of the Phoenix”

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.
