HOW DID THE HIGH SUMMER COLLECTION FIRST COME ABOUT?

It was a natural continuation of the Spring/Summer collection 22, which was very colourful, free, and festive, it was about Holi festival, it was about Burning Man, about really enjoying life and especially enjoying that freedom we have been craving for such a long time.  In addition, it was another opportunity to include that incredible craftsmanship from India. The people in India really needed the support, corona was very hard on India. In that way, for me, it was having the possibility to work with them and to see what they could do, that was really fantastic. For me, it is dreaming about a perfect summer holiday.

WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION?

The idea was combining prints, colours, flowers, tropical flowers, leaves, sunsets, all the things which makes you think about the perfect summer and the perfect summer outfit. That mixed with handmade and hand embroidered fabrics, made completely using these beautiful techniques in celebration of Indian artistry.
