The fifth collection theme this season is called East Paradise. Tribal natives meeting a researcher at a biosphere study lab. That’s the inspiration. Think Garden of Eden, through times, a place so lush that life is simple. The colour scheme is vegetal bright – From neutral olive to apple and purple, with gold and mellow yellow tones. We work with tie and dip dyed fabrics, coloured and metallic leathers, intarsia, frayed denim, raw linens and casual cottons. Details like patchwork, piecing, animal and ethnic prints, lurex sparkle and raw edges are what makes the theme. Key items for the look are aprons, handmade tees, bold patterned garments, checked peasant blouses, easy draped dresses, printed play-suits, head wraps and bucket hats. A total hit this summer!

Here’s some inspiration from the runway:
