SS10 Reverie Collection in store now

2010-07-30T17:16:00.000+10:00

While it still may be a little early to whip out the summer dresses, we couldn't wait to share with you our new collection called Reverie. It gives a feeling of being lost in a daydream, with our signature luxury blends of silk, bamboo, linen, and modal creating willowy, flirtatious silhouettes tempered by more streamlined shapes.

The must-have of every girl's wardrobe, the modal blend basics again form the foundation of the seamless collection in soft dusty hues of pale pink, silver and Russian blue.

The lustrous linen silk is the new addition to the collection. In flirty, oversized shapes, the ethereal texture delicately plays with transparency and effortlessly layers over the more streamlined pieces. We love this new blend becasue it effortlessly layers over all of our wrdrobe staples and we can't wait for the sun to stay out so we can show them off!

The subtle drape and fold of the bamboo blend adds elegance, while the silk cardigans are delicate and feminine.

Contours and panelling shows through in the ready-to-wear line, with form-defining dresses that celebrate and refine the female form.

Ethereal…the lustrous linen silk delicately plays with transparency

Elegance…the subtle drape and fold of the bamboo blend

Refined…the divine blend seamlessly conforms to the female form

Luxury…Bamboo and silk blends offer eco-chic opulence

Experience…dreamy blends are soft against the skin

Feminine…willowy, flirtatious silhouettes temper streamlined shapes

Be lost in the dusky haze that is cylk Spring/Summer 2010. See more of the collection at http://www.cylk.com.au/collections.html

LINEN SILK IS COMING!

2010-03-27T14:07:00.000+11:00

Welcome to your master class in Linen Silk. This stuff is so gorgeous and it's part of our Summer'10 range(coming soon), so get excited!

Firstly it's called Linen Silk because its 90% Linen and 10% Silk.

It requires five times less pesticide and fertilizer than cotton.
It breathes naturally so it's perfect for those sticky summer days that turn a little cooler towards the night.
It's hypoallergenic!
Got sensitive skin? Meet Linen silk-your new best friend! It's proven to be gentle and totally wearable for those who can't wear certain fabrics.
Lastly, I love this one, it 'whisks' perspiration from the skin. Recent research has demonstrated that a person who wears linen silk sweats 1.5 times less than someone wearing cotton! Seriously.

We love. So why are you still wearing cotton? More to come on this.

Become a V.I.W.D.P (Very Important Well Dressed Person)

2010-03-03T15:53:00.000+11:00

Do me a favour, go to your wardrobe and tell me the dominant colour isn't black. Don't be ashamed, we're all in mourning here in Melbourne. Over what we're not completely sure, but black is the new black, or the old black, whatever. The point is, at cylk we recognize the comfort(and the elegance)in black while at the same time offering you options to layer and brighten up your look. Our Winter line uses gorgeous shades of purple, mauve and fawn which are far from plain and ever so luxurious to wear. Come check it out at our V.I.P night this Tuesday the 9th of March.

Champagne. 50% off ALL stock. New Winter. Did I mention you get 50% off!

Skip yoga, tape My Restaurant Rules (am I the only one who watches this?) and head to the QV for some V.I.W.D.P action.

cylk as a cocktail....

2010-02-18T15:22:00.000+11:00

We've gone a little stir crazy at cylk this week (pun intended!) and yes we're a little ahead of ourselves talking cocktails on a Thursday, but the sun is out in Melbourne again so why not replace the umbrella dangling from your wrist with a cocktail! Here at cylk we love bamboo, we use bamboo fibres in our clothes so why not give you a recipe to match your outfit! (If you don't have the outfit I think a trip to QV is in order!) Here it is ladies, enjoy! We think if we were to be any cocktail it would have to be this one!

BAMBOO COCKTAIL

1 oz. Rum

1 oz. Peach Schnapps

1/3 Lemonade

1/3 Pineapple juice

1/3 Cranberry juice

Shake it all together and serve in a chilled glass.

CYLK LANDS IN THE QV

2010-02-18T12:53:00.000+11:00

After huge success in New York (lets hear it for New York!) CYLK has finally opened a store in home sweet home, Melbourne. We hope you're as excited as us because we think we may just be here to start a fashion revolution.

A revolution that's going to be oh so sassy, oh so elegant and oh so eco friendly. Our designs range from luxury basics (we're talking 100% silks!) edgy peices perfect for layering and exclusive stories created with love and loads of personality.

The best part? Apart from how amazing these fabrics feel on your body, we use natural materials such as bamboo fibres so now that little black dress can hug your body and the planet at the same time!

Come for a visit and a play and help us start a revolution!
