Available online and via stockists now, Mood 4: Enduring Nature is local designer Mahsa’s freshest new offering, an ode to the season, to the female form, and to strength.
The new mood continues A Single Woman’s central tenet around strength, with a specific focus on our surroundings. Nature’s defining characteristic is endurance. Through change and catastrophe, it adapts and renews; patiently resilient and inventive, ever-challenged yet never-defeated. As part of nature, we too will endure and thrive even in the most extraordinary times when we pay attention to the lessons of the natural world.
In the new mood, Enduring Nature, Mahsa’s muse contemplates nature’s lessons in the earthy warmth of her home. She dresses simply, with a nod to pieces of the past with enduring appeal – a sailor collar here; a modern take on traditional men’s suiting there; waistcoats and trenches that hark back to romantic films of her childhood.
As the wild world tumbles into frame behind her in the lush surrounds of her garden, the fabrics of her garments reflect the natural textures – soft cotton voiles and drills, silk blends, wool gabardine. An elegant green and cream striped Liberty silk-cotton is the exclusive signature print for the collection.
Each piece is made with love, integrity and patience, and sent into the world with courage in the belief that others value the same enduring qualities that Mahsa and her team do. “We look to the future with a spirit of resilience and a commitment to evolve the way we think, the way we act,” she says. “Our natures and nature depend on it.”
