Dea Kudibal has been designing feminine, print-led silk dresses and blouses from its Copenhagen studio since 2003. Founder Dea Kudibal started out with hand-drawn scarves before launching the brand's first full clothing collection in 2008, and stretch silk has stayed the signature ever since. Bold colour and original prints run through every piece, cut to move and to flatter. We hand-pick the collection each season for Olivia Grace Fashion in Wetherby.
We started stocking Dea Kudibal because it fills a very specific gap in the shop: colour and print done properly, in silk that actually feels good against the skin. It photographs beautifully but wears even better, and that combination is rarer than it should be.
The collection covers dresses, blouses, trousers and skirts, most cut from Dea Kudibal's own stretch silk. Prints change every season, some soft and painterly, others bold enough to wear on their own. The stand-collar blouses and print halterneck dresses are some of our most reordered pieces, and they work as hard for a dinner as they do under a blazer for work.
Dea Kudibal set up in Copenhagen in 2003, starting with a small run of scarves before her first full clothing collection landed in 2008. The label is still designed from that same Copenhagen studio, print by print, season by season. It's a proper Danish label, not a diffusion line, and that shows in how considered every piece feels.
If you're after colour and print that still feels grown-up rather than costume, start with Dea Kudibal. Try one of the silk blouses on and you'll feel the difference before you've even looked at the label.
