GOLDEN SEA ALOHA DRESS by Mayumi Oda

Mayumi Oda’s “Golden Sea” diptych is part of her Ocean Series. Featured here on our Aloha dress, the “Golden Sea” print was inspired by Mayumi’s love of the ocean: “I learned scuba diving at Waikiki Beach and was fascinated with the Hawaiian ocean. The exhilarating feeling of diving was the closest thing to flying. My Buddhist name, Ekai, means Merciful Sea, so I wanted to dive into the bountiful ocean.”
