If your designs could speak, what would they say?

The abstract is natural.

What are the signature elements in your designs?

Nature-inspired imagery and harmonious composition.

Which collection are you most proud of, and why?

I am proud of my "Rainforest" collection because during its making, I was very much connected with the environment of my theme.

Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

I find Inspiration from Nature. Nature is a never-ending well of inspiration, from the grandeur of celestial events like the collision of two stars to the intricate choreography of an ant colony. Each phenomenon, whether cosmic or microscopic, exhibits its unique beauty and complexity, often revealing patterns that seem almost artistic in their precision and harmony. It's a reminder that creativity and wonder are woven into the very fabric of the universe, waiting to be discovered and appreciated by those who pause to observe.

Which designer in the world inspires you?

Mary Katrantzou
