KOLAM

- COMING SOON -

 

Kolam SS24 is a modern day reflection on the similarities in adornment between ancient East African & Indian cultures. Transcending through eras & continents, both regions adorn the body for the purpose of making oneself auspicious, attract good fortune and connect to one’s soul.

Tapping into the rich heritage of Kenyan craft, the Kolam collection is the result of artisanal innovation and deep respect for local craftsmanship. Alongside our artisan partners across the country, we present a new perspective on handweaving, block printing, crochet & Maasai beadwork. The functional embellishments are set on the canvas of local & rain-fed cotton, featuring the LilaBare signature textile… our unique weave dyed in botanicals & agricultural waste. It is as durable as it is buttery soft, ultra-breathable & drapes fluidly.

The Kolam collection utilizes modern technology to create 3D renders of our designs, bringing these ancient crafting techniques into today's world. Working within the digital space of fashion design has allowed us to minimize our in-house waste, which is always repurposed into small accessories & packaging. Producing our clothing with the world’s only carbon neutral garment manufacturer, Wildlife Works, the Kolam collection uses fashion design to take a holistic & timeless perspective on creating positive impact on our planet.

SAṂSĀRA

‘Saṃsāra’ (v., Sanskrit) in Indian philosophy, is crucial in the journey of metempsychosis, or reincarnation. The cyclical nature of Saṃsāra recognizes that death & birth are necessary as we strive to release from the bonds of our own past deeds: our karma. Saṃsāra enables the death of the past, the freeing of bondage & the inevitable rebirth into the future.

 

“This feels like a rebirth of LilaBare to me, as we present a collection that represents the meeting point between my aesthetic & my ideal fabrication of the pieces, particularly in relation to te label’s sustainability & ethics principles.”

– Ria Ana Sejpal, Creative Director

 

The collection heavily features LilaBare’s signature textile, which is of local origin, traceable, naturally grown, botanically dyed and handloomed in Kenya. The collection pays homage to the first time these techniques were developed, dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization in the Bronze Age, which also is the inspirational foundation upon which the collection is designed.

 

During this time period, the sari had not yet been created. The number of cloths that one wore denoted the style; “ekavastra” or one piece, “dvivastra” two piece, and so on. In consideration of this, the primitive approach to the collection strips down all frivolity and emphasizes on nomadic, old-world utilitarianism. The silhouettes are cut to move in harmony with the natural elements that come into contact with each piece, as an extension of the body.

 

Adornment feels necessary with this approach, and much like Hindu deities, the practice of adornment or “shringaar” is to make the body, the temple of the soul, auspicious. We use adornment to protect, to express, to connect with our inner spirit, “aatma”, as one of the highest forms of celebration of life. The choice of heavy, raw materials is to provide protection to the more fragile parts of the body; forearms, ankles, the third-eye, and highlight its strengths too. They take shape in rewoven, landfill-destined denim; post-production excess pull-up leather; shells and upcycled hand-cast brass plated in gold.

 

Saṃsāra is the reinvention & revival of ancient textile traditions as well as our local handcraft. It is an  adaption of an era whose stories have been lost in time, yet is still reawakened into the present.

SPRING SUMMER 2025

Spring Summer 2025 “Not enough” is a collection that pays tribute to the nuances of multicultural identity. With Indian-Kenyan-British roots, the designer addresses the notion of not fully belonging to any one culture, rather, that identity is a blend of experiences, heritages & philosophies. Within this grey area, the aesthetics of the collection draw from not being Indian enough, not Kenyan enough, not British enough… the idea that we are never truly any one pure thing, and that there is deep beauty in that. There is a delicate meeting point within the designer’s cultures and experiences that is celebrated & embraced in each piece. The spirit of the collection has a relaxed streetwear aesthetic, playing within the realm of the brand’s nomadic futurist signature.

 

With the label’s recent breakthrough in radical alternative & regenerative textiles, this season we present textural banana waste handloom, bold brass embellishment, Nairobi-red-soil fabric dyes and more... The hand-painted Gujarati script reiterate the idea that “not enough” is a beautiful in-between in which to experience life’s dynamism. The LilaBare mantra “made for the mindful” also makes an appearance in Gujarati across a series of laid-back & tactical pieces, elevated with metal disc embroidery. The application of both Indian & Kenyan beadwork and printing techniques adorns gender fluid designs, with a refreshing personal twist.

 

The entire collection is traceable to source with East African origin.
