CICADAHOME: Redefining the Modern Lifestyle with Loungewear
CICAHOMR
"CICADA" is an insect that symbolizes vitality and transformation. In Eastern cultures, it represents elegance, nobility, and renewal. "HOME," on the other hand, is a place full of warmth and a sense of belonging. CICADAHOME blends these two elements, advocating for a lifestyle that harmonizes nature and comfort, offering modern individuals a warm and elegant haven.
As a global traveler born in New York, I frequently move between cities across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Asia. During my travels, I’ve stayed in luxurious hotels and experienced cozy guesthouses. After each day, I would always slip into the robes or loungewear provided in the room to relax, but I noticed a common limitation: these garments were only meant to be worn indoors. Whether I needed to walk to a nearby café, convenience store, or simply step onto the balcony to enjoy the breeze, I always felt uneasy.
On an unexpected trip to Zhejiang, China—one of the starting points of the Silk Road, with remarkable textile craftsmanship and a rich cultural history—I was deeply captivated by the exquisite patterns and profound meaning of traditional silk. However, it was during this journey that the idea for creating CICADAHOME truly began to take shape, blending my experiences from traveling the world over the years.

In Europe, I was inspired by the elegant minimalist design style, where "less is more" was beautifully conveyed through precise cuts and details; in Southeast Asia, the vibrant tropical colors and natural elements expressed energy and vitality; and in China, the ancient literary and artistic atmosphere, combined with Zhejiang’s silk craftsmanship, elevated this cultural art to a new level. It’s not just about clothing; it’s an expression of identity and culture.
Amidst this fusion of diverse inspirations, I realized: why not combine the essence of these different cultures with modern fashion design to create loungewear that seamlessly transitions between home and the outside world?
Thus, CICADAHOME was born out of this inspiration. We aim to break the limitations of traditional loungewear and design clothing that can effortlessly transition from the comfort of your home to the outside world.
