Latest Collection

SS16 EAT. PLAY. LOVE

SS16 collection is named as “EAT. PLAY. LOVE”. It is inspired by memories of childhood, family and love.

Childhood is the time of infinite fun. The day seems to last forever, and the fun never stops. It is a time of excitement and joy of life. Somehow childhood never seems to last long enough. It is always over before we get a chance to fully experience its power. This is true for all the wonderful things. They always seem too short as well, as the time we can spend with our family by the time we grow up.

Collage and lace are the two key elements applied throughout the collection.
Old photos, posters and collages recall childhood memories as most of us had his or her walls decorated with posters and magazines. Shoe lace is a metaphor of love, it ties up each other no matter how far they are.

The collection is also based on its metaphorical prints, gardens share the same nature as a human being; they both need nutrition to grow and survive. Vibrant sunrise colors and food prints symbolize happiness and life.

The SS16 collection creates a marriage between geometric cuts teamed with neutral hues and a peek of vibrant colors. It provides multifunctional artistic yet wearable pieces, inspired by sweet memories and love that have been translated onto each garment creating artistically inclined pieces with haute couture aesthetics and the functionality of ready-to-wear.
