VI.VE.RE
VI.VE.RE takes its name from the Italian verb meaning to live, and the clothes have exactly that energy. Expect sculptural blazers, fit and flare dresses, sheer organza shirts and confident outerwear, all with a strong shape and a modern edge. These are pieces for people who like their wardrobe to say something without shouting.
Our edit runs from silk tie dresses and a cape sleeve jumpsuit to barrel leg jeans, cord trousers and statement knits. We buy in small batches and never restock, so once a piece has gone, it has gone. Come and try the shapes on at our Pontcanna Street boutique.
VI.VE.RE at Kiti
Vivere is the Italian verb for to live, to be alive and to endure, and VI.VE.RE designs clothes with that spirit in mind. The collection is all about strong silhouettes and modern details: sculpted sleeves, cinched waists, sheer fabrics and outerwear with real presence. It is the label we point people towards when they want something a little braver than the usual, but still completely wearable.
We select our VI.VE.RE edit piece by piece, choosing the shapes we think will work hardest in a real wardrobe. That means dresses you can wear to a wedding or a work dinner, tailoring that looks sharp over jeans, and coats and knits that make winter dressing more interesting.
VI.VE.RE dresses and jumpsuits
The dresses are a highlight of the collection. Fit and flare shapes nip in at the waist and swing out at the hem, while side tie styles, including a mosaic print silk dress, wrap and drape beautifully. For occasions, the cape sleeve silk blend jumpsuit is a grown-up alternative to a dress that still feels special. Pair any of them with simple heels or a sleek boot and let the shape do the talking. Browse our full dresses collection for more.
Sculptural blazers and shirts
VI.VE.RE tailoring has a sculptural quality that makes even a plain outfit look considered. The Sophia sculptural blazer is the one to start with: wear it over a fine knit with straight jeans, or with matching trousers for something smarter. Shirts range from a crisp belted poplin style to a sheer organza shirt that layers beautifully over a camisole. Explore more in our blazers and shirts and blouses collections.
Jeans, trousers and skirts
For everyday dressing, the Naya barrel leg jeans tap into one of the most popular denim shapes of the moment, curving gently through the leg before tapering at the ankle. The Raven cord trousers sit high on the waist for a long, clean line, and the Rana fit and flare skirt mirrors the dress shapes for a polished day look. Find more in our jeans, trousers and skirts collections.
VI.VE.RE outerwear and knitwear
The outerwear brings the drama. Choose from a faux leather bomber jacket, a short soft faux fur jacket and a double faced check jacket with a built-in scarf detail that saves you a layer on cold mornings. On the knitwear side, the Maya cardigan has sculptured sleeves that make it a statement on its own, and the Daya knit tabard layers neatly over shirts and dresses.
