WE HAVE ARRIVED!

GLOMAD'S PHILOSOPHY

 

The launch of Glomad’s luxury beachwear collection, ‘Atlantis’ expresses a long anticipated desire to incorporate the aesthetic fabrication of clothing, with the fibres of experience. The textiles of the silk kaftan style dress and dress style kimono, are designed to tell a story that any woman can resonate with. Glomad represents fashion as a way of expressing who we are, without subscribing to the conventional ways we envision identity. Language alone can be an ineffective tool in expressing the complexity of each woman’s journey. Glomad aims to challenge the misguided assumption in the modern day society that appearances are shallow, the ethos of the glamorous nomad is a sentiment that is heartfelt, pervasive and authentic.

INSPIRATION

The pieces reflect my experiences of vibrant yet challenging journeys from London, Paris, Mexico, India and Burma, to islands of the Indian Ocean. These places offer a schema of sensational vibrancy that may often appear inaccessible or daunting to the static eye. Perception is often lost to routine. By crafting expression from these visually luscious places, I aim to open the static mind to the idea of hope in images inspired by fantasy, enchantment and discovery.

CREATION

The fervent thirst for life in the most ardent of situations in which I have travelled, encapsulates the philosophy of the glamorous nomad - Glomad! The sentient, wandering being, does not only see beauty in situations of stasis and familiarity, but in the tumultuous landscape of adventure and affliction.The human need for connection is a symbol which is represented in the collated art-palette of colours, images and patterns of the silk materials, crafted within the kaftan dress and silk kimono.

ATLANTIS     

The Atlantis beach wear collection allows Glomad to capture the incongruous, mystifying and at times uncomfortable human relationship to the world, whether we are caught in love, loneliness or adversity. Symbols of feathers, scales and movement are mercurial motifs that offer solace, guidance and inspiration to the inquisitive being, flying far from the realms of frivolous romanticism to which they are often associated.

The debut beachwear collection aims to bridge a gap between the internal and external beauty of far-off lands, unknown places and the beauty of those who seek it. It provides for the glomadic being a platform to reach out to the global, multi-faceted and at times, bewildering parameters of our planet, and offer a place to feel at home.
