"My inspiration for the collection is a modern day onna-bugeisha, which is a Japanese warrior woman, and I wanted to bring to this collection the femininity, the strength, the journey of a woman. So the collection starts off with sort of traditional Japanese shapes, you have the kimono, which is almost impossible to do in bandages, but that's alright," Lubov Azria, half of the design duo, said of the brand's runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) in New York on Saturday (September 6)."At the end, she is a lotus flower, and lotus means rebirth, love and peace. So basically you see a whole transformation, because women are not about war, it's about peace and love and bringing life to this world," said Azria........
