Fabric, Clothes and Humanity have had a relationship with each other for ages. Ever since human beings emerged, clothing has represented the geography, history, profession, social status and also the relationship they have to their environment.
Every piece of clothing is interwoven with the story of a person and their personality like the warp & weft. Most intriguing is however the stories that clothes reveal about aspirations and expression. It helps us guise or disguise ourselves in our own beliefs.
“Like DNA in the threads that form their warp and weft, textiles embody stories about culture, politics, innovation, intrigue, greed, fortunes, and environmental collapse. A single piece of cloth can express light and movement, texture and volume, even emotion. It can be a projection of self or obfuscation: a disguise behind which to mislead the viewer. Cloth has the power to define and transform our impression of another human being.”

THE INSPIRATION
The Nomad Collection is, in equal parts, inspired by space fantasies and traditional attire. In a unique blend of the past and the future, it was designed with an intent to bring an element of escape to dressing up every day.
It is a collection that was made for solace and healing in an era that's drenched with the aftertaste of decadence and constantly assaults our senses through an unsustainable want ... for more and more...
It inspires from the creation of a reality where you can change - a reality where you can stay dressed - for home, for office, for dates - all through the same clothing. It is, in a sense, a fantasy where each garment can do many things for you.
Parallel to that of many science fiction stories - which serve as a cautionary tale of the global collapse that is a result of greed and corruption - we yearn and strife for a life that harkens to a more progressive and natural way of living.
The collection borrows from techniques that are timeless, low on tech and were the prevalent practices amongst our ancient societies. We aim for a natural harmony with the environment, society and economics.
Made with all-natural materials like indigenous Kala Cotton, pure Hemp and blends of the two, the Nomad Collection is for the traveller. It travels through the modern landscape, in search of the paradigm shift towards a more holistic and conscious lifestyle.
THE COLLECTION
Clothing has the ability to create our impression.
The spirit of the Nomad explores the blur between Reality and our Dreams.
Today's culture needs clothing that is adapted to the fluctuations between work-life and personal-life.
Where we can go to work and head to meet friends for a coffee or just push it to a late nighter-and in-between, talk to the client, boss and the folks back home.
Fast fashion may have 3 different trends for this, but we explored the blur - can we make clothes adapt to our mood. Can we be beyond gender, body size and just be about the feelings expressed right where we are - at this moment.
NOW!
Can we be who we want to be, not who we should be?
This is an open-minded collection, which allows flexibility of style based on when you're in the mood to do what you want to, and has the utility of what you need to be.
