The new collection offers a variety of silhouettes appealing to a contemporary woman and comprises of kimonos, tunics, tail coats, crop jackets, petal sleeves, flared skirts, tapered pants and full length attires.
On the launch of brand’s debut collection, Hammad Sadiq, Creative Head at Morri said “This collection is a tribute to the beautiful modern woman and how she reaches the seven steps of Baltiyul to find beauty in herself. The silhouettes are derived from a woman’s emotions and its decoration from her experiences in life through a mystical and beautiful journey. The play of cutwork and its fluidity amidst strict geometry is where the garments strike a balance. They are embellished in compositions that move through these garments. They are contemporary pieces illustrating the concept bearing its present relevance to modern times.”
