The collection underscores the idea that while humans may attempt to replicate nature through fashion and art, there’s an inherent uniqueness and irreplaceable quality to natural forms, such as insects. Redefine the boundaries of fashion by drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing world of insects, where nature’s design meets the possibilities of tomorrow. By envisioning a future where technology and biology seamlessly intertwine. The use of lachka material in your garments not only adds a futuristic and edgy vibe but also symbolises the fragility of insect habitats. Lachka, being a delicate material, mirrors the delicate ecosystems that insects inhabit.  As for the season, the futuristic and edgy nature of your collection suggests that it could be well-suited for a fall/winter season runway show.
