the ss25 flower print
inspired by 1930s abstracted, scattered, floral prints as well as seasons motif was found at a flee market in japan where alison picked up this vintage dressing gown.
natural dying with tea
tea dying is a great option if a garment you love has had some light staining and is looking for rejuvenation. The kadi cotton trims for SS24 are softened with the brown hue.
sula & the colour pink!
The sula team sit down to discuss designer Alison Taylor's thoughts about pink, what has inspired our pink hues for spring summer 2024 and the history of the beloved colour.
our collection for summer 24
Overalls have all been carefully cut to flatter the female form. We also present our first bridal dress as well as a new print, inspired by the faded pressed flowers found betwixt antique books.
Colour story
sula collections always start with a colour story, the incredible Jennifer Packer exhibition I went to see inspired our following spring and summer collection we created.
science behind colour
most people are trichromatic, this means they have three different types of cones in their eyes. A tetrachromat has 4 different colour perception channels.
The Rosalita dress
The Rosalita dress was inspired by the Rosa jacket which has roots in Eastern European workwear. I am wearing mine as a spring coat for this fresh weather.
inspired by vintage cloth
In Vietnam our production team have been busy marking up the cloth for cutting and stitching. Meanwhile, by the sea, we are cutting final pieces of material and checking patterns.
Sula in Selvedge magazine!
"What’s the hardest part?
The supply chain is very long and sometimes things are simply out of my hands — and things sometimes do go wrong."
sula photography
Take a look at this interview with Aaron Joel Santos, we have worked with Aaron on every one of our photo shoots over the last 5 years. We love what he has said about sula!
Behind the scenes SS16 shoot
We found our dressing room, adorned with an old rope hanging amongst the dusty sackcloth and drying workers clothes of a 400 year old spice store. The colours of the room were amazing.
working on winter 16 samples
Alison and Archana share the same intensity in their approach to their work, not pausing for a moment until they have found the right combination of threads, beads and buttons.
