Now
fashion week is over, its time for us to show you our SS16 collection. when creating this dynamic collection we wanted to not only empower strength and elegance but luxury at its best. we used the best quality cottons, lace, silks, satin's and scuba's with some of the most uncommon materials merging both modern, cultural and technical elements. Draping and embellished tassels was something new for us for SS16, draped Duchess satin exemplified the shape of a woman's silhouette and also giving great detail and structure to each garment. Embellished tassels brought the collection to life, making the muse for this specific collection
"the Mursi tribe" speak through the garments. giving 3D movement and a dynamic story telling event with each garment.

Influence:
"I gathered my influences from not only my current surroundings but past and present issues that we face in society. At some point we have all felt trapped, misunderstood, put down due to our gender, sexual orientation or race, caged or simply that we have to conform to what society says is right. I wanted to strip back all layers of myself with this collection, as many times I have felt all of these emotions but gathered my strength and determination from strong, fearless, independent women that have surrounded my life growing up. As I researched generations of my family I was able to depict story's and family ties going back century's to the motherland Africa. Tribes play an important role in the history of Africa and convey a strong message of power, beauty and courage. I wanted this collection to stand for the same message tribes such as the Musri have displayed for century's. They are bold and unafraid using their body art to distinctively stand out from others, this is the feeling I want all women to feel when wearing this collection fearless, strong, bold and unafraid."
