LIGHT AS AIR

2011

The collection ‘Light as Air ‘ stemmed from
the designer’s appreciation for the tulle fabric… its softness and free-flowing
nature ensures the comfort of the wearer and the ability to make one feel
‘light-as-air.’

The collection ‘Light as Air ‘ stemmed from
the designer’s appreciation for the tulle fabric… its softness and free-flowing
nature ensures the comfort of the wearer and the ability to make one feel
‘light-as-air.’

The lookbook was shot on an old ship. Here,
the model is in a state of confusion/dissatisfaction where she fantasizes about
living luxuriously on a ship.  She see’s
herself as a demi-god able to tackle anything because she is ‘light-as-air’…
but like every fantasy ends, reality sets in. . . Its an old ship in dock, its
unreal.

The use of the Ankara fabric for hand scrunches,
shorts, pockets and inner linings, and the multi-coloured Aso-oke skirt ensures
our staying true to African heritage per collection.

The Wana Sambo woman is fierce, strong and
exotic.

 

Thank You so much.
