Leveraging her beloved heritage, Vaishali S wants to celebrate freedom of expression and individualism with her Spring/Summer 2024 collection "I am Nature”.
Each Vaishali S collection is but a new step into her seamless journey of self-discovery through fashion. Her last collection “Abyss” was about diving deep into the darkness of the ocean (or the self) to discover the inner colours and beauties that lie beneath.
About “I am Nature” S/S 2024 Collection: The Concept
“I am Nature” is the third haute couture collection presented by Vaishali S in Paris after becoming the first Indian woman invited to showcase at Haute Couture Week.
Each Vaishali S collection is but a new step into her seamless journey of self-discovery through fashion. Her last collection “Abyss” was about diving deep into the darkness of the ocean (or the self) to discover the inner colours and beauties that lie beneath.
This season’s collection is the designer's realisation that there is no distinction between nature and us, that we are nature, and nature is us. Vaishali S’ Couture Spring/Summer 2024 collection titled "I am Nature," explores the profound connection between the external world and our inner selves.
About The Collection: Sartorial Touches
This collection serves as a poignant call for a change in perspective, for self-empowerment into styling traditional handwoven textiles for the most irreverent and personal self-expression. “I am Nature” is a mature blend of more wearable yet as much creative garments, with a fine balance of precious hand-woven fabrics from different states of India with new handwork; a powerful expression of what the designer has inside and her deep connection with Nature.
The collection was complemented by statement pieces from the famous Parisian jeweller Lydia Courteille which perfectly extended the message enhancing the luxury allure.
