THE INSPIRATION
The Damsels
The women of the frescoes reimagined across silhouette, the black silk dress closest to their form, the brown damsel print skirt and scarves echoing their gesture.
The Sky
From the soft blue of Sigiriya's morning to the gold of its last light, captured in a daylight dress and a sunset dress, drawn from the same view, sixteen centuries apart.
The Garden
The flowers and foliage that once framed the frescoes, woven into print throughout the collection.
This is what craft looks like when it travels.
