This style is named as part of the collection’s tradition of honoring women whose presence, elegance, and personal style inform how the garment is worn and experienced.
The Dorothy Long Kimono – Crimson Sun Edition is a bold expression of warmth, vitality, and dignified presence. Crafted from richly patterned Ankara, this full-length silhouette features a repeating sunburst motif rendered in saturated crimson and deep black, creating a visual rhythm that feels powerful, intentional, and enduring.
Measuring 62 inches in length, the Dorothy is designed to elongate the frame, offering a fluid drape ideal for heights 5’7”–5’11”. Fully lined for comfort and structure, the garment maintains its form while allowing ease of movement throughout the day or evening.
Finished with handwoven trim sourced from Nigerian Aso Oke or Liberian Country Cloth along the neckline, cuffs, and front opening, the kimono is elevated by textiles traditionally reserved for ceremonial and distinguished dress. These details introduce depth, texture, and cultural significance while reinforcing the garment’s refined luxury. A coordinating self-tie belt allows the piece to be worn cinched for a tailored silhouette or open for relaxed elegance.
Named in honor of the designer’s maternal grandmother, Dorothy, whose confidence, love of color, and commitment to dignified dressing continue to shape this signature silhouette.
Designed to transition seamlessly from elevated loungewear to statement outerwear, the Dorothy – Crimson Sun Edition reflects strength, heritage, and lasting style.
