Lure of the Orient is about the impact of colonization on the lifestyle, clothing and thinking in most of South East Asia. Even in times of globalization you will find these influences. In Asia, the new superpower of the world, men and women wear traditional costumes, while National security is still strongly influenced: padded jackets, the Anglo-French tailcoats, the British tweed waistcoats, the riding breeches, the applets and the influence of cavalry. Suneet Varma's collection combines these elements in a new contemporary clothing silhouette. Soft, drapy dresses with masculine ties in gold and leaf green (such as on the photos below) are inspired by Asia's history and contemporary cinema like "Pillow Book" or "My Favourite Concubine".
