Silk – pure and light-weight, in eye catching contrasts and chic cuts – is very desirable. Inspired by the Asian tropics, the multi-faceted and unique Moirai collection called out to FUCHSIA when it opened its doors to customers at Great World City, forcing us to delve deeper into what this label has to offer.
From smart-casual dresses, western-style tops and work wear to chic jute bags, sophisticated clutches and funky wedges; and wait, that’s not all. Accessories ranging from strings of semi-precious stones to costume jewellery – you name it, they have it!
Just in case that’s not enough to tempt the shopaholic in you, they also carry a selection of home décor comprising of carved lamps, mother of pearl serving sets and lots of other ethnic bits and pieces with a western edge to them.
The Moirai fashion philosophy is the simple belief in fair trade and ethical styles. Each hand-stitched piece is created under labour ethics and carries a label bearing the name of the couturist and the seamstress, with a fair share going to the labourers.
Timeless Gowns
This black and white jacket is a fusion of East meets West, with ethnic patterns in contemporary cuts. Worn on a plain black jumpsuit, it looks glamorous yet toned-down. It is jazzed up with a strand of semi-precious stones and a heavily embellished hand bag. Hair up or down is your choice, but if you want to carry off this look differently, just turn the jacket inside out and, Voila! you have a completely different piece altogether. Most jackets at Moirai are reversible.
Subtle Elegance
The flowing chiffon top is given subtle detail with the hand embellishment of sparkly rhinestones. In combination with white embossed silk trousers and a reversible stole, a picture-perfect look is created. Once again, the flexibility of the reversible piece means you won’t run out of styles to carry it off.
Playful Innocence
Lehngas have made a comeback! Loud and proud as they may seem, the bright colours and the feminine appeal is simply irresistible. Pair it up with a toned down top or something more ethnic, throw on a stole and paint the town red! We know you want to …
Effortless Chic
Last but not least, we have this sleeveless waistcoat. With a pair of jeans and a white top, this is your splash of colour! We have paired it with an asymmetrical top and white flowing trouser, creating
a look for any time of the day. This, too, can be worn in 2 ways, pattern in print on one side and a modern detail on plain silk on the reverse. Here, it is accessorised with a jute clutch and a colourful necklace to bring the outfit together. It is available as a full-sleeved, short jacket as well.
