The Autumn/Winter 2018 collection showcased titled “Princesses Beyond The Grave”, is inspired by female icons from the past that have passed on have left a legacy in the fashion world.

Princesses Beyond The Grave; Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Josephine Baker, Marlene Dietrich, Mae Murray, to mention a few. This collection was created to remember and honour these style makers who had the look. The current generation of women, when it comes to fashion, they too are fearless. The influence of the late fashion icon have encouraged the new generation and made them believe that fashion has no boundaries and started enforcing women empowerment. Women empowerment refers to women’s ability to enjoy their right to benefit and have control over their resources, assets and time. Like these icons from the past, femininity is more than just a way of dressing, fashion for women is more than just clothes, it is a form of empowerment in which they can dress up for their personal enjoyment and for women to allow themselves to feel sexy, powerful and confident.
