Spring/Summer 2023

STORIES OF BURMA - Acheik Collection

New York Fashion Week

For my NYFW SS23 collection, I am profoundly inspired by Burma (Myanmar), as such I decided to use the Burma traditional textile design called “Acheik”. 

 

Acheik is a unique Burmese traditional textile pattern seen on longyi (skirt) fabric, worn by both women & men during ceremonial events. 

 

Most commonly you will see Acheik worn during weddings, traditional ceremonies, & national gatherings. Traditional Acheik designs feature a mix of rolling waves, floral themed vine embellishments, & Burmese ornamental baroque art. 

 

More modern designs of Acheik are inspired by & feature the forms of clouds, flowers, & zigzag lightening patterns.

 I am using these very traditional fabrics designs, but to create very contemporary & unique fashion looks. Some of my looks are inspired by the fabrics themselves, while others I am remixing design elements used in traditional garments to create more modern looks.

For example, in this look, you will see a dress train

that I have never seen in the western fashion world.

This dress train is commonly used on

Burmese longyi (Htamein) and wedding dresses.

However, I am mixing this traditional

Burmese dress train with a unique

classy front & a sexy open strappy back.
