DÔEN

DÔEN

DÔEN was launched in Los Angeles in 2016 by Santa Barbara-born sisters Margaret and Katherine Kleveland with a collective of women partners. Its nostalgic California vocabulary is soft around the edges but not precious, built from the sisters’ wish for clothes that could meet real life and changing bodies. The edit stays with dresses, tops, skirts and easy layers that work harder than their prettiness suggests.

Our honest take

The appeal here is specificity: these are not anonymous luxury objects or generic wardrobe fillers. Pick the category that already fits how you dress, then let one strong piece do the work rather than building a full costume around it. If you take one thing away, choose the item you would still wear on an ordinary day, because that is where the design earns its keep.
