“The colour led me to the sun. The mood board inspired me to the sun when it is at its hug of nature while at its peak. The inspiration took me to a strong-willed woman who attracts her dream to make it a reality in her hands shining with success as a sun. The design expresses a woman’s elegance and femininity. The sun in her hug is radiant and striking.

From a young age I used to collect scraps of fabric that my aunt threw aways and made it into clothing for my little dolls. In my teenage years I never liked to wear ready made clothes. I like to choose my fabric and draw my design myself.

I have always dreamed of being a fashion designer and I grew up and my dream grew with me. I always said that I couldn’t achieve it, for me, the opportunity was as far away as the sun is away from the earth. But my determination and passion made me study and learn fashion design and make my dream a reality, shining in my hands.”
