Stayin' Alive
Stayin’ Alive is our Post-Pandemic take on Sustainable Maximalism. Yearning for nostalgia, we are taking things back to a carefree era filled with great music, radical experimentation and self-expression. As we exit restrictions and enter into our new normal, we want to bring brightness, pattern and camp to wardrobes. More is more – more music, more fashion and more boogie. Group project with Angel Tubianosa Photography: Sarah Consoli Assistant: Luca Papini Art Direction, Wardrobe & Set: Sarah Konowal Make-Up/Hair: Jem Roberts Assistant: Jiggs Rocamora Model: April Syme

Fall Down the Rabbit Hole
You haven't gone mad. We're raising a cup of tea to "pattern on pattern" for Fall 2021. Fall Down the Rabbit Hole as we transport you to an autumn tea party inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Alice, in patterned blue with a ribbon in her hair and a cheeky feline purse, has landed in the window from a vortex-like rabbit hole. Here, she is greeted by the Rose, in a gothic floral dress and faux fur jacket, for high tea in the garden. "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then"- Alice in Wonderland Concept & Art Direction: Sarah Konowal, Angel Tubianosa, Yihang Li and Michelle Wei Fashion Styling: Sarah Konowal
