“My collection is rich in colour, detail and imagination and is guaranteed to make you stand out in a crowd,” promises the peppy young girl. “I derive my inspiration from all that is mystical and magical, which then reflects in my edgy and surreal garments,”she adds, making them ideal for trend-setters and for those who love to make a statement.
