About this Collection:
“Arise” is a statement on how our collective lifestyles will change in the future. The premise behind the garments is that humans will visit environments outside of Earth’s atmosphere and therefore clothing must be designed to enhance movement in zero gravity. Aesthetic and constructional details are inspired by kites, the oldest manmade aerial device. Blossoming embellishments embody the floating nature of zero-G flight indicators. Variable-opacity fabrics and feminine-focused silhouettes combine to make ethereal fashion for the new frontier. - Rights
