“When Art Meets Fashion”
I see art as a way to express myself. I believe fashion connected to art and through Amara Khit, it is satisfying to see the connection between art and fashion explicit.
Amara Khit pieces are designs inspired by the artwork of mind. I am a medium conscious artist, manipulating the different mediums to control the expression of my art. This is reflected in Amara Khit where I focus heavily on the fabrics as my medium of design.
I focus on the emotions and confidence of the wearers and their needs of expression. There will always be artistic philosophy each behind where the aesthetics will consistently remain high across our portfolio.
