For Andi, the designer behind Venus in Aries, the answer is curiosity.

Her collection explores new possibilities in materials and construction, from leather and leather-like materials to 3D-printed garments, inviting you to look closer and ask: What else could we do with this?

New materials. New possibilities. New ways of doing fashion.

What happens when a familiar silhouette becomes a passport to the world?

For Tafsil Design Studio, it starts with the caftan.

“The way that I dress, the way a lot of people in the world dress, whether they’re a Muslim or not, people dress like that.”

Drawing from cultural traditions and global influences, Tafsil builds on a form found across continents to create a collection that feels like a fabulous, sophisticated world tour.

The vision is intentional: slow fashion, limited pieces, distinctive fabrics, and a balance between extravagance and simplicity.

Because sophistication doesn’t have to shout.

Hear from Tafsil Design Studio on the inspiration behind the collection and the world she’s creating through fashion.
