'Cybele' is a dreamy blurred, abstract botanical print. The colour combinations are unexpected, and the design masterfully brings 'light' to the blurring of leaves and flowers through the use of white, cream and taupe. The black background makes this wonderful for wearing any time of year, and I can especially see this in a lovely blouse teamed with black pants or skirts in winter. It wouldn’t be out of place in a summer dress though, with chic brown, black or metallic sandals. The cloth is a viscose 'satin' but it isn't as shiny as many. It has more of a sheen rather than 'shine'. It's a great weight and has a lovely floppy drape.
There are two colourways of this print:
Copper & Magenta (in addition to the variegations of copper you'll see bright moments of orange, some deep plummy hues, and stunning magenta pink. The white, cream and taupe bright 'light' to the design'. The background is black)
Sage & Chartreuse (in addition to the white, cream and taupe, you'll see a wonderful combination of sage, greyish navy and variegations of chartreuse; all on a black background)
