2020 VISION

PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL RUNWAY, 2019

Lakshmi Bee 2020 Vision Collection shares a glimpse into our world, who we are as designers and why we are here. Fashion has always been a significant part of our art and form of expression. Inspiration from Gods creation, family and sustainability are at the heart of everything we create and do. 

Our 2020 vision collection featured sustainable, made to order pieces inspired by our different cultural backgrounds and birthplaces of Australia, India, England and Papua New Guinea. The designs and colours expressed the natural beauty of landscapes, tropical florals, and the stunning Birds of Paradise which are native to Papua New Guinea. The collection was created over a number of months, with each piece created using our up-cycling techniques and a collection of unique materials. We incorporated vintage and pre-existing garments sourced from our own wardrobes and vintage stores, fabric off-cuts and remnants collected from our studio, fabrics of cottons and silk satins collected over the years from our travels, completed with hand embroidery using beads sourced from our families hometown of Bangalore, South India.

The runway show was a wonderful success and one of our favourite runway exhibitions to date. It was a beautiful celebration of global cultures, with a special highlight and celebration of the Pacific Islands. We share our gratitude to PIR Director Fayee Penny for selecting our label Lakshmi Bee to take part in this experience, and to her teams, our amazing models and crew, it was an honour to work along side you all.

We thank our father God for consistently blessing us, against all odds, we are forever grateful.
“Nothing shall be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20)
