[2023] SELFI - Spirit Body Collection
SELFI is a Cape Town-based ready-to-wear clothing label by fashion designer Celeste Lee Arendse. She specialises in ethical apparel and accessories for women, and incorporates aspects of South African culture and identity in her designs. I had the privilege to collaborate with Celeste in the launch of her new Spirit Body collection, which resonates with my practice. The Spirit Body range is inspired by becoming more present within, and building a relationship with our internal energy. The collection features fabrics such as raw silk, ramie linen, 100% cotton and mohair, and embroidery depicting rock art, symbolising South Africa’s indigenous peoples’ spiritual connection to nature.
