The Celestial Gardens Collection.
This Collection is the smell of freshly cut grass.
It is memories of making potions in the garden with flowers and rose petals.
It is getting lost in imagination, building fairy gardens and playing pretend.
This collection is for me a suggestion to touch grass.
To embrace your inner child, when you didn't have lifes pressures on your shoulders and all you did was play and outside and create with your hands.
This wolrd that we live on has made us chronically online. We so rarely get the opportunity to get lost in thought and we have almost forgotten how to tap into that imagination part of our brains.
This collection is a reminder to to be whimsical, to be playful, to let yourself be unserious for a moment.
The Tunic and Pant set are here for the drama.
These pieces are designed to be worn together but they are also incredible stand alone pieces.
Pair the tunic top with a mini skirt or jorts and jeans.
Pair the pants with our Del Mar white top, or a simple tank.
The Astoria Dress is a really playful mesh piece that was inspired by the chess scene in Alice in wonderland.
It's a bit warped and wonderful.
This piece is really special because it was a completely custom repeat by Maku designed so that when worn it wouldn't actually be sheer.
It's incredibly light weight but because of the pattern work it doesn't actually appear sheer on body.
The T-shirts in this collection are statement pieces. With the Gardenia T-shirt being My persona favourite.
The art for this collection and these tshirts are some of the most intricate pieces I have created to date with the art taking around 80hours.
The Shirt and Short set in this collection are so special.
I really wanted to create a set that flattered the female body but still left room for tghe silly seasons lunches! So many shirt and short sets have absolutely no shape but this set tapers in slightly at the waist making it so flattering.
The mini dress for me is a really special piece because it's actually a dress I drew when I was little. This entire collection is about that notion of your inner child and giving yourself permission to dream. And so to be able to make this piece that I used to draw as a kid feels really special.
I hope you love this collection and I hope it makes you dream and imagine and not take things so seriously for a moment.
MAKU xx
