Latest Collection

Modern Alchemy

Manimekala's AW18 graduate collection "Modern Alchemy" establishes her own coven of modern white witches.

Researching moral clothing laws from 17th century Puritans to the Amish, Manimekala conjured simple yet dramatic silhouettes. Taking inspiration from the raw beauty of volcanoes, and ceramicists such as Ken Price, she has performed technological alchemy to develop each of her unique fabrics. Starting with handwoven raw silks, she combines traditional textile processes such as marbling and screen-printing, with sublimation, heat-bonding and laser cutting, to create futuristic plastics with iridescence and molten gold. Manimekala’s girl practises sorcery in secret, for which she is feared and revered.
