TRIBEAUTY
Spring Summer 2018
The collection, ‘Tribeauty’ is inspired by a Japanese flower - Sakura. Sakura
is the Japanese term for cherry blossom – that most beautiful of Japanese flowers.
In Japanese culture, sakura are associated with the transient nature of life.
This is because the fragile blooms only last for a very short time. This belief comes
from the Buddhist notion of ‘mono no aware’, which is difficult to translate into
English but which expresses a sensitivity to the impermanence of things, thus
heightening an awareness to this beauty.
