Renowned UK designer Wales Bonner has recently embarked on an exciting collaboration with musical pioneer Laraaji, resulting in the launch of the Vision Songs Capsule Collection. The collection pays tribute to Laraaji’s influential album, Vision Songs Vol. 1, which was recorded in his New York apartment and is described as a collection of devotional and inspirational songs channeled from the sky. The limited-edition collection features garments made from pure cotton jersey, with vibrant orange and pink hand-dyed options available. Only 60 pieces of this exclusive collection will be sold, with all proceeds being donated to the Care India Foundation.
In addition to the capsule collection, Wales Bonner enlisted the collaboration of acclaimed photographer Bharat Sikka to capture a series of captivating images in Hampi, India. These photographs add another layer of visual storytelling to the collection, enhancing the overall experience for consumers. To further immerse listeners in the essence of the Vision Songs Capsule Collection, a Spotify playlist featuring devotional sounds from Laraaji has been curated under the same name.
Founded in 2014 after Wales Bonner’s graduation from Central Saint Martins, her eponymous fashion house has quickly gained recognition and accolades within the industry. In 2015, she received the Emerging Menswear Designer award at the British Fashion Awards, followed by the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in the following year. One of her notable achievements includes a collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior, where she reinterpreted the iconic New Look in a breathtaking cruise collection showcased in Marrakesh. Her success continued with the win of the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.
