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.
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.
how sula ss20 was created
When I started to think about ss20, it was actually spring in 2019. After a re-watch of Frida the movie, I became interested in the square shapes and deceptively simple garments worn by Kahlo.
