The Inspiration
Our Spring-Summer 2016 collection is based on the mind-bending beauty and intrigue of Möbius strips and black holes. The collection incorporates twisting, looping and ‘Otoshiana’ (a tube leading from a surface) as key design elements. The simple glamour and minimalist style of the clothes belies the complexity of their design and construction.
