The Spring summer 2015 collection takes its inspiration from cherry blossom. Known as “Sakura” in Japanese, the Cherry blossom trees are common in Japan and are an integral part of native Japanese culture. The garments beautifully depict the shapes of cherry blossom flowers and structures of cherry blossom trees. The designer has painted the prints herself on different fabrics like taffeta organza and Chinese silk to create a range of contemporary pieces such as jackets, dresses, skirts, trousers.
The pretty colour palette of pink, peach, ivory, grey and aqua, complements the essence of the collection along with garment details such as ruffles, peplums, feminine cuts and asymmetric patterns.
The design collection named , ‘Sakura’, was presented by Afreen Usmani
