London based brand takes on vibrant prints for Spring 2018 collection

KAYA, meaning ‘home’ in Ndebele features an assortment of vibrant ready to wear pieces inspired by "cultures and tradition".

“KAYA, is the perfect fusion of my Ndebele childhood mixed with my experiences and influences living in London now. It’s a reflection of my culture combined with my present day life celebrated through bold lines and fabric prints.

I wanted to create a collection that embodied my African heritage but also represented modern day fashion, allowing the pieces to be complemented by an array of styles from vintage to punk fashion. This collection is for the woman who loves prints and is not afraid of colour” the label's creative director Preline Martha shares.

Taking inspiration from the great South African Ndebele artist, Esther Mahlangu, including the cultures and traditions taught by her Zimbabwean grandmother as well as experiences living in the inner city of London, fashion designer Preline Martha began to create the follow up to her highly anticipated second collection, "in her most personalised and intimate collection to date".

The collection features an array of high energy ready to wear looks from dresses, jumpsuits, body and swimsuits to kimonos, mini bomber coats and wrap jackets. The 17-piece 'KAYA' collection explores a spectrum of tones through dark autumn hues to colourful summery prints using custom made opulent fabrics and patterns.

The KAYA collection housed by US celebrity wardrobe stylist Kanayo Ebi's showroom is also available via www.prelim.co.uk.
