Toronto designer Anu Raina first showcased her Spring/Summer 2012 Collection “Murano” at last year’s LG Fashion Week. She’s preparing to release her Fall/Winter 2012 Collection “Welcome to Toronto”, but before that drops, we’d like to share Murano with you.
The inspiration behind this collection comes from the hand blown glass chandeliers made in Murano, Italy. The movement of colour and play on light has been reinterpreted in this collection with one-of-a-kind pieces made by Anu. “In making this collection I played with colour and dyes fearlessly, showcasing this energy.”
Murano is a movement of colour, light and patterns.
If you like what you see, this collection is available at Homegrown Boutique in Yorkville.
