Options: What’s your #MBFWKL 2023 lookbook like?
Celest Thoi: I will be showing 24 looks from Coterie by Celest Thoi, which will comprise all-white ensembles.
What was the source of inspiration for this collection?
This series is all about stripes and polka dots but interspersed with a lot of play on texture, although it’s still all-white as per Coterie’s signature DNA.
How do you feel now that fashion shows and events are back in a big way?
I am so happy! It’s a wonderful feeling being able to create without restrictions and work closely with one another again.
