lemlem Mariam shirtdress

Supermodel and activist Liya Kebede started this handcrafted apparel and home collection—named for the Ethiopian word meaning "to bloom or flourish"—and employs local African artisans to create its unique statement pieces. The Tiki Azure Collection features crisp fabric woven with diagonal dotted stripes in bright hue with a subtle textured weave, creating a clean look. This shirtdress boasts an oversized, relaxed silhouette, side pockets, a back yoke, a curved shirttail hem and sustainably sourced and produced natural shell buttons. It can be worn as a swim cover-up, a shirt or a short dress. Handwoven in Ethiopia, this silhouette is made of a soft hand-spun cotton blend for a light and comfortable feel.
