CloseUnder My Wing Pixie Kimono - Market of Stars x Jessica Roux
Some pieces of clothing are simply beautiful. This one tells a story.
Under My Wing is a Market of Stars pixie kimono created in collaboration with artist and illustrator Jessica Roux, a trompe l'oeil wearable art piece where a swan appears to wrap her great wings across your shoulders in an embrace of quiet devotion. Beneath the arc of feathers, pale eggs and a gosling nestle in warmth and shelter. The effect isn't just visual, it's felt.
Jessica Roux is celebrated for botanical illustration work of remarkable tenderness and depth. This kimono marks a first for Market of Stars: a fully custom trompe l'oeil design that uses illusion, not just imagery, to bring its narrative to life.
The Story Behind the Design
In folklore and myth, swans have long represented loyalty, transformation, and devotion, creatures of both stillness and strength. Jessica's swan is rendered not as decoration but as a guardian: watchful, gentle, and fiercely devoted. Under My Wing is a tribute to motherhood in all its forms, whether found in family, friendship, or the quiet act of showing up with love.
What You're Wearing

Her work is known for its tenderness, warmth, and extraordinary depth. This kimono marks her first custom trompe l'oeil collaboration with Market of Stars.

Q: What is a trompe l'oeil design? A: Trompe l'oeil is a French term meaning "deceives the eye." In this kimono, the swan is drawn specifically to wrap around the wearer's shoulders, so when worn, she appears to actually drape her wings across your body. It's an illusion built into the design itself, not just a print.
Q: What is a pixie kimono and how does it fit? A: A Market of Stars pixie kimono is a lightweight, open-front wrap with an relaxed, flowing silhouette. It is designed as one size and drapes beautifully over any body type. Wear it as a layer over a dress, a duster over jeans, or a statement wrap on its own.
Q: What is this kimono made of? A: Under My Wing is made from 100% viscose, a breathable, plant-derived fabric made from natural fibres including wood and bamboo. It has a soft, silky drape that moves beautifully and feels lightweight against the skin.
Q: How do I care for this kimono? A: Machine wash on a gentle cycle or handwash in cool water. Hang to dry, do not put in the dryer. Iron on a low setting to finish if needed. Treating it gently will keep the colors vivid and the fabric soft wash after wash.
Q: Is this a good gift? A: It's one of our most gifted pieces. Under My Wing was designed as a tribute to motherhood in all its forms, making it a deeply meaningful gift for mothers, grandmothers, best friends, or anyone who shows up for the people they love. It arrives beautifully packaged and ships nationwide.
Q: Is this kimono exclusive to The Periwinkle Shoppe? A: We are an authorized retailer of Market of Stars. Our selection is curated and limited, we carry only a small number of styles and quantities.
