In this collaboration, both designers contributed ideas incorporated into the printed fabrics. Questions were asked such as: “What makes us who we are?” “How do we show our personalities?” “How to use nature and the world around us to create a collection using a sustainable approach”. With this collection – IDENTITY – the print story is about identities evolving through life, our experiences and responsibilities, ever-changing.
The fusion oHendo’s signature barkcloth and the structural wool fabric combined with Eki Orleans’ printed silks and soft silhouettes, create unique and individual pieces allowing the wearer to exhibit their own identity through the bold prints and structural designs.
