The inspiration for the Chiyono Anne 2021-22 “INDIA” Collection came from a visit to India in 2019. The overwhelming world of color she saw while traveling in New Delhi, Lucknow, and Jaipur, the beautiful buildings and decorations that fascinated the viewer, and the clear eyes and overflowing energy of the women she met at the embroidery facility. Through this journey, which felt like she had wandered into another world, designer Chiyono imagined two imaginary women and incorporated them into the design, creating two series. [AAHBA] Her name is Aaba, which means “shine” in Sanskrit. Aaba, who was shy and reserved from an early age, discovered the joy of expression through art and music, and as her name suggests, she unleashes her inner brilliance and is reborn as a woman full of confidence. This series boldly uses deep, rich browns used in the murals, fabrics, spices, and decorations she encountered while traveling around India, and vivid, captivating vivid blues. Silk imported from London and delicate blue river lace purchased in Paris make any skin tone shine with a lustrous glow. When the simple yet playful and unique design inspired by classical architecture overlaps with your own beautiful body line, your heart will flutter and you will be filled with confidence.
