Prima Donna

Fall / Winter 24

 

The feminine form takes centre stage. We turn our focus, in dramatic fashion, to sculpting our signature handwork textiles into new-age and shape-oriented eveningwear. 

We’ve particularly reinvented our Zari-Ari embroideries, developing them into dynamic tape-like forms and sculpting them on the body to form statuesque silhouettes. Arc-shaped patterns in mirror leatherette have been top-stitched and hand-appliqued to emphasise the curves and circularity of the body, while our state-of-art upcycled TPU yarn embroideries have been cut and formed in fringes and stripes to emphasise the angles of the female form. 

These complex handwork embroideries and textiles sit on a base of structured metallic Lurex-tulles and heavy textured satins, in striking shades of ebony, ivory and a range of metallics from gold and pewter to silver and bronze.

Spring / Summer 24

 

Our collection for SS24 is visually inspired by radiating wave forms and the stunning visual phenomena they create in space. Our signature new-age metallic yarn embroideries, our glass yarn embroideries and our highly intricate sequin and bead tassel work have all been oriented in forms and colours of the many radiation events we studied as a part of our research. The base fabrics of this collection too, consisting of a range of light and textured satins and viscose silks, have an ethereal and other-worldly sheen to accentuate the dynamic light-diffused pastels shades of the visually prominent embroideries and overlay fabrics. Ultimately, this collection is an endeavour in creating a sophisticated range of highly contemporary handcrafted pieces along with windswept kaftans and dresses that are equal parts elegant and innovative.
