A Sheer Delight — that’s our goal anyhow, as we continue to expand the breath of light, flowing fashion tops that our customers can’t seem to get enough of. A great deal of that direction evolves from our Proprietary Sheer — the sweetest, softest, sexiest fabric of it’s kind on today’s market. It’s airy nature and extraordinary capacity to captivate the broadest color range has allowed us to escape the doldrums of conventional styling and bring you what you’re more than likely looking at right now — another inspired Sheer Creation from KOAN!
"Split is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, centred on the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian. Spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings, Split's greater area includes the neighboring seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is a link to numerous Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula." (source: Wikipedia)

In 2011 Split, Croatia briefly featured in most of world's media. Not for the architecture, Festival of Mediterranean Film, Roman palace or 140% rise in room nights from tourism but for the horrific treatment of the first Split Gay Pride. Stones, firecrackers, spitting and Nazi salute chanting of 10000 angry citizens greeted just 300 pride participants. It was a very dark day in the history of my city.
Fast forward 2012.. I woke up today thinking ah.. going for a coffee and then off to get stoned.. The day of Split Pride 2012 arrived. This time it was better, bigger and 100% safe. New coalition government has shown the full commitment to human rights and this time made sure that Pride was a success. Split was a better place today then a year ago and so is the whole of Croatia.
