The Flowers Bloomed for You

We made a special trip to Michelangelo's Square today for you... I've been a bit slack taking the camera out, mostly because our trips are so random. Most mornings I squeeze my eyes open for a latte at the bar downstairs, and sometimes we dont come home until after dark. I've barely gotten to the part of remembering not to wear my PJ's for morning coffee, let alone take the camera and all the other survival items one needs when venturing out
The sun was out and it was a light 18 degrees, perfect for riding the scooter around the city outskirts, catching random images from the back of the bike, stopping only for Cappuccino's and Cream filled croissants

  Rada Priya 25/26' Concept board Fashion has always been a part of my creative soul, but after stepping away for years, returning through my studies has reignited a passion I thought I'd left behind.

This collection is about honoring my roots in intricate beadwork while embracing sustainable practices and modern elegance. My design process starts with textiles, and my palette has evolved into a rich tapestry of verdant hues—lush greens, earth tones, metallic blues, and soft greys. Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
