On a hot Summer afternoon by the Danube river in Budapest my colleague and talented young photographer Emoke Gyurasits, my friend Katarina and I got inspired to shoot a beautiful Croata kaftan from their Summer 2013. Brijuni line. 


This amazingly luxurious, airy and elegant kaftan with my favorite flower - exotic orchid and other floral patterns is combined with Croatian historic Glagolitic script in turquoise blue and made out of finest silk thread. I love the color palet ranging from light mint green to deep blue, black and yellow.








My favorite thing about this kaftan other then amazing feeling of silk and airiness you get when you wear it is that it is extremely multinational, you can wear it as a dress on one shoulder or both, with belt or shorts, traditionally over the bikini or to work in a more formal version as a tank top or tunic over skinny jeans or tights.




It is extremely comfortable to wear, breezy and gentle on the skin and it truly gives a lady that diva feeling of sensuality, elegance and femininity. It comes in two different models and three different patterns. 



These new luxurious kaftans from the luxury Croata Brijuni line are available in Croata boutiques in Zagreb (Oktogon), Split (Peristil) and Dubrovnik, and on the companies webshop. The price for one is 3,000 HRK and it is a perfect souvenir to bring home from Croatia.

To find out more about the brand you can read the interview I did with Croata's art director.

For this particular shoot and location I wore it in two different ways but stay tuned and follow my blog as in one of the August posts I will show you all ways you could wear it when on vacation by the seaside. ;)
