Kew Gardens in London is basically the heart and soul for all living plants. It is no surprise that in any season walking through its landscape would invoke an envisioning. The flora inspired this collection, made on 100% silk taffeta and habutai silk. It represents everything that is sweet and that is summer yet it also represents an appreciation for art that stems from the beauty of nature and its caregiver.

The Sweet Summer bedding ensemble is an expression of my innate love for Mother Nature holding within it a vast expanse of intricacies, mysteries, undying beauty and a universal power/energy greater than none other. Time spent strolling around these glorious gardens, imbibing each form and its essence was the beginning genre for this ensemble.

The usage of habutai silk signifies softness yet keeping in mind the fluidity the flora exudes. The Taffeta silk on the other hand radiates strength and an elegant shimmer, which for me was an apt portrayal of this habitat. My focus gradually shifted to the bright colours that my photographic research had captured. After further design development through means of collage, layering and stitching, my attention shifted towards integrating floral pattern and texture to create a balanced look.

In my work I am always seeking to bring about positive moods, energies and attitudes which I hope translate into spaces of the home, by influencing the environment in a manner that is both refreshing and rejuvenating, and brings about optimistic views.
