SARAH SPLINTER: ZENANA

Inspired by her recent experience in India, Zenana is a reflection of the prevailing nature of beauty in a world enslaved to tradition and hierarchy. From the crowded streets of Delhi, to the divine royalty of ancient Palaces; the diverse nature of Indian culture is a dichotomy that has fuelled her creative journey. Amazed by the ability of women’s fashion to prevail beyond the limits of social hierarchy, the collection aims to create a whimsical nature of possibility. Zenana embraces the richness of Indian textiles; utilizing luxurious brocade and the art of hand painted silk. Draped in a colour palette that invigorates the senses, there is an element of sex appeal in the modest nature of her designs that achieves a understated look of opulence and glamour.
