Driven passionately as a counterpoint to disposable fashion, her Mantua Collection of silk scarves, is trans-seasonal and timeless, upholding it’s focus as a beyond trend product, weaving ethereal stories of colourful self-expression into cloth and robe, with the promise of lasting quality. Juandi makes use of Watercolour artworks, which are printed onto silk in limited editions and the cut and crafted into scarves.
