The Brand Dea Kudibal

About the brand 

Dea Kudibal's journey began in 2003 when she established her eponymous brand in the heart of Copenhagen. Initially specialising in exclusive scarves crafted from vintage fabrics, Dea quickly garnered attention for her keen eye for colour and pattern. This modest inception soon blossomed into a broader range of tops, trousers, skirts, and dresses, culminating in the launch of the inaugural full Dea Kudibal collection in 2008.

Dea Kudibal has formed a genuine connection with Deryane and The Dressing Room. In 2023, Dea took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to fly to the UK and meet Deryane and the team for a private launch event. During this special occasion, they had fascinating conversations about her journey from college to the successful business she runs today. Customers were thrilled to meet Dea in person, gaining valuable insights into her amazing brand and its evolution.

Attention to detail is paramount in every aspect of Dea Kudibal's creations, with a focus on quality, silhouette, and craftsmanship. The result is a collection that epitomises femininity, flattery, and contemporary style, tailored to suit the needs of the modern woman. Rooted in her artistic family background and innate sense of aesthetics, Dea Kudibal has made prints the cornerstone of her creative vision. Each season, she and her team curate a diverse array of designs, ranging from bold and vibrant to soft and delicate. These prints adorn premium stretch silk, a hallmark of the brand's signature style.

Favourite styles undergo seasonal updates, with beloved shapes reimagined in new colourways, prints, and fabrics. Dea Kudibal dresses, in particular, prove to be incredibly popular, balancing style, comfort, and versatility effortlessly. A wardrobe essential is the Helga dress, cherished for its chic stand collar and sleek kaftan shape that effortlessly skims over the body, offering both comfort and flattering elegance. A Dea Kudibal dress will take you to any occasion with ease.

Beyond the stunning prints and luxurious fabrics, Dea Kudibal's collections are also known for their impeccable fit. The brand understands that the perfect fit is essential for making a woman feel her best, and they go to great lengths to ensure that every piece flatters the female form. This dedication to fit and form has earned Dea Kudibal a loyal following among women who appreciate quality, elegance, and contemporary style.

Dreams of the Orient: Dea Kudibal's Autumn 25 Collection

“I’m captivated by the Far East, where traditional craftsmanship meets elegant innovation. The beauty of Eastern aesthetics-graceful colours and intricate patterns-inspires designs for the Dea Kudibal woman. This fusion of Eastern refinement with Scandinavian minimalism evokes a quiet strength and effortless elegance, and expresses appreciation for artistry, heritage, and the fusion of cultural influences” - Dea Kudibal

There’s something endlessly captivating about the magic of the East-its colours, its patterns, and that sense of quiet elegance that seems to float through everything. For the latest Autumn25 collection, Dea Kudibal takes that timeless oriental inspiration and gives it a fresh Scandinavian twist. It’s a beautiful mix of craftsmanship and style, where understated elegance meets minimalist design, creating pieces that feel both classic and modern.

This season’s palette and prints are straight out of a misty Japanese garden in autumn. Think soft flowers, delicate leaves, and trees gently blurred by early morning  fog-everything is muted, poetic, and so beautifully subtle. The Roseannadea Silk Dress in Sencha Black and the Palmadea Linen Dress in Nori really bring this to life with their natural, earthy tones and effortless elegance.

The collection plays with delicate shades like porcelain white, dove grey, and pale blue. These colours catch the light in the signature silk blouses and printed dresses, giving them a sophisticated, airy feel. Take the Kammadea Silk Blouse in Owl-its soft tones and fine details make it the kind of piece you’ll wear on repeat. Lotus blooms, usually bold and striking, are softened here into gentle blues, while fern leaves and chrysanthemum flowers mingle with paisley on jacquard fabrics, creating rich textures that feel both cosy and luxe. 

As the weather cools down, the tailoring adapts, too. The Dunjadea Wool Blend Sleeveless Jacket in Black Check is perfect for layering, with a long, clean silhouette that’s both practical and stylish. For dressing up, black really comes into its own this season. Vegan leather pieces, like the Roxannedea Vegan Leather Trousers and Sunnadea Cocoon Trousers in black, bring a sleek, lacquer-like shine that feels chic and modern. They pair beautifully with luxe silk blouses such as the Umadea Silk Blouse in Black/Porcelain and the Umadea Silk Blouse in Takashi Black, which add that extra layer of elegance for evenings out or polished daytime looks.

And because no wardrobe is complete without a little playful edge, leopard print makes a glamorous appearance this autumn. The Kikkidea Silk Blouse in Animal and the Roseannadea Silk Dress in Animal are bold yet wearable, adding a confident twist to the otherwise soft and serene palette. It’s the perfect way to inject personality into the collection without losing its refined feel.

At its core, Dea Kudibal’s “Dreams of the Orient” collection is all about blending worlds-bringing the calm, thoughtful design of Scandinavia together with the poetic, nature-inspired beauty of the East. It’s a collection that feels special, with pieces that you’ll want to live in all season long. So this autumn, why not bring a bit of that serene, misty garden vibe into your wardrobe? With these beautiful prints, statement blacks, and a touch of playful leopard, you’ll have everything you need to feel effortlessly elegant no matter where the day takes you.
