Keep yourself open to all possibilities...

Designer Fiona Buckingham established the kyotap label in 2002 and has since watched it go from strength to strength, branching from Sydney to interstate stores in a matter of months and maintaining her unique approach to design throughout.

Fiona's designs, like the acronym suggests, are versatile - they are often reversible or can be worn in an endless combination of styles and ways. Influenced by urban architectural form and eastern approaches to cloth, Fiona's designs reflect her own appreciation of traditional eastern lines and abstract, futuristic forms. She consistently challenges traditional garment construction by experimenting with structure, flow and form and using, for example, only one seam line and allowing the body itself to shape a garment. By folding, draping and using "fitting darts" as features in each piece, the fabric can map the figure in simultaneously soft and angular lines and fit all types of body shapes and forms with comfort and elegance.

The fabric used is always of the highest quality and combines earthy hues with natural weaves and textures, producing a functional, elegant and organic collection of strongly feminine pieces that quickly become firm wardrobe favourites. Fiona regularly expands her collections and launches new lines to ensure the innovative kyotap label stays fresh and varied.
