Synopsis

A new direction in the project brief led to the designing of a new line of chic and classic apparel for the modern youth. The focus was on a combination of hand knits and woven structures with variations of twill and chevron weaves. Crochet and hand knitting styles learnt from local artisan women were incorporated into the design. The collection consisted of woollen jackets that displayed a minimalist look. Subtle tones of greys and blues, peachy hues and earthy browns lent a natural feel to this trendy collection.
