天照花塚 Flourish Tumulus

 Inspiration for the collection came from integrating philosophy, nationalism, culture and religion which will combined can create a nationalist ideology combining war, culture and humanity. The designer says drawing upon this global experience and considering what’s happening in the world now feels heavy and therefore it’s time for us all to make a difference. The collection’s silhouette are drawn from samurai armour and considerations of military uniforms from World War II. The black and white colour palate plays on the idea of camouflage patterns  and inspiration from chess pieces.
