Fireflies for Lanterns
In addition to showcasing her feminine and floral frocks at London Fashion Week, 24-year-old designer Sasmitha Dellawa is also a business tech analyst in the energy sector by day.
“It’s a 24-hour-job,” she tells me after the show. “I come from an oil and gas background, so, just seeing how that industry has also taken a green turn made me think maybe the fashion industry, which is one of the biggest contributors to pollution, could take a stand against it.”
With a mission to make shopping green affordable, Dellawa leverages natural fibres, recycled and deadstock fabric —that’s fabric that would otherwise make its way to the landfill — and crafts all of its delicately drawn prints in-house.
