THE SS26 CAPSULE OWES ITS NAME TO THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY THE PEMON INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY LIVING IN THE GRAN SABANA, IN SOUTHERN VENEZUELA. “AMÄY NON”, TRANSLATES TO ‘MOTHER EARTH’, OR ‘MADRE TIERRA’ IN SPANISH; A TRIBUTE TO THE ELEMENTAL FORCE THAT SHAPES THE COUNTRY’S LANDSCAPES, IDENTITY AND SPIRIT. THIS COLLECTION PAYS TRIBUTE TO VENEZUELA’S NATURAL WONDERS AND RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE. IT ALSO MARKS KANOMI’S 26TH ORBIT AROUND THE SUN, A JOURNEY SUSTAINED BY THE BRAND’S “MADE IN VENEZUELA” ETHOS, SYMBOLIZING A SOLID COMMITMENT TO QUALITY, SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND ENDURING STYLE. THE COLLECTION WAS DOCUMENTED BY DILA RAMOS ALONG THE BREATHTAKING COAST BETWEEN PUNTA NEGRA AND BORBURATA, IN PUERTO CABELLO, NORTH-CENTRAL VENEZUELA.

SPECIAL EDITION PRINT · SS26
FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2026, KANOMI UNVEILS ‘CAYO DE AGUA’, A SPECIAL EDITION PRINT INSPIRED FROM ONE OF THE MOST SINGULAR PLACES IN THE ARCHIPELAGO, CAYO DE AGUA IS A NARROW STRETCH OF SAND WHERE TWO SEAS CONVERGE: THE DEEP BLUE OF THE OPEN CARIBBEAN AND THE TURQUOISE OF SHALLOW LAGOONS. FROM ABOVE, THE ISLAND SHOWS SHIFTING COLOR GRADIENTS, WITH WATER, CORAL, AND SAND CONTINUOSLY RESHAPING THE TERRAIN. TIDES, WIND, AND LIGHT TRANSFORM THE HORIZON THROUGHOUT THE DAY, CREATING A NATURAL PALETTE OF BLUES, AQUAS AND EARTHY TONES.
KANOMI’S SPECIAL EDITION PRINT CAYO DE AGUA, CAPTURES THE MOVEMENT AND TEXTURE OF THAT SINGULAR GEOGRAPHY; A MEETING OF WATER AND LAND RENDERED IN FLUID FORMS AND LAYERED COLOR.
