Mikando is the fabric of the Signature line. It is chosen when a piece has to hold its shape without structure: it is what keeps Adama's sculptural sleeve standing, and what lets the length of the dress fall away in one continuous movement.
What makes it rare is the balance between body and drape. Too stiff and the dress breaks; too soft and the shoulder collapses. Mikando holds both at once, and that is what gives the Signature pieces their almost architectural line.
It is the cloth of ceremonies, receptions, and the evenings you will be photographed at.
Mikando is chosen here for its hold. It carries enough body to keep a sculptural sleeve standing on its own, and enough drape to let the length of the dress fall clean.
