HELLO HELLO Inspired by waterfalls, the theme of Hello Hello’s collection is ‘upgraded’ resort-wear making use of linen and cotton materials, and incorporating decorative fringes and ribbons.

A.N.D Designed for men and women – but primarily men – A.N.D’s new collection is ‘inspired by the gods’ with bold and dramatic designs made from vintage fabrics that have been recycled or remade.

PHKA KN’JAY Phka Kn’jay will present a classy collection of evening gowns and resort wear. Done in shades reminiscent of the ginger flower – after which the brand is named – the dresses feature touches of lace further evoking the floral theme.

DON PROTASIO Inspired by ‘decay’, the fabrics in Don Portasio’s new collection appear tattered and degraded. Rather than avoiding imperfection, Portasio embraces it with buttons missing on items and others faded and frayed.
