Kika is the owner and designer of her namesake brand Kika Simonsen, stocked at Cult Mia. Each of her collections are deeply inspired by her travels around the world and splashed in an artsy overtone. Kika utilizes her rich artistic background to channel her thoughts and feelings about these places onto a canvas. Adding layers of acrylic paint and a dash of personal flair, this manifests in beautiful fabric paintings, which in turn become her base material, all done locally from her studio in São Paulo, Brazil.
This is when magic happens; these one of kind paintings are brought to life and transformed into exclusive and timeless silhouettes. Always carefully cut and modeled, keeping the female body in mind to make sure of perfect comfort and fit.
Kika’s latest collection is called Twiga, which means giraffe in Swahili. The prints and colors of this collection are inspired by the tribal giraffes of Kenya being Totems. Totems are treasured symbols that have been accepted as emblems by society because they are thought to have a transcendent meaning. Totems are spiritual companions that foster feelings of deep spirituality, identity, and belonging. This collection includes versatile and fresh pieces that invite you to celebrate these totems around the world.
