The primary inspiration for this collection comes from water and its relationship with texture and form: the rhythm of waves, the erosion of sand and tidal patterns. A balance between control and surrender, strength and softness. The mood is calm, confident, and sophisticated, with a quiet strength. A palette of army green, plum, and burnt orange adds depth and warmth, creating a bold yet grounded aesthetic. The collection proposes a playful, contemporary occasion wear range that combines sculptural tailoring with soft volume. The intention is to explore confidence as something expressive and joyful rather than rigid. These designs prioritise ease, personality, and fluidity over traditional power dressing. SONDER represents empowered self-expression through play. Designed for a fashion-forward, urban audience, the brand appeals to those who value craftsmanship and individuality. These wearers seek meaningful, high-quality pieces that feel elevated yet personal, offering a sense of presence that is both polished and distinctive. The majority of fabrics used are deadstock fabrics kindly donated by Cooneen of Fivemiletown.
