The collection is based on the idea of a quote from Jim Jarmusch “Nothing is Original, Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination”, silhouettes have been taken from ancient chinese vases as the bases to skirts, draped sash’s over the cloud print add depth and a floating dream appearance to the garments while the accents of gold appear in exposed zips and accessories to add a luxe and modern touch.

The result channels radiant, elegant, confident women. An unexpected beauty, a bold beauty, ultimately feminine, and always eye grabbing. Dreams and aspirations are never to be underestimated, as they simply a catalyst for a creators work as Jean Luc-Godard said, “it’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”
