A Japanese nature influenced collection has great potential to turn kitsch— exactly what the last Ports 1961 India-themed collection was criticized for— but this time around, Tia Cibani turned caricatures into a less conventional image. Shades of mauve, ivory, pink and bronze quietly stunned, while the clothes maintained this delicacy through its fabrics. Taffeta dresses, organza blazers and satin blouses dominated the collection. However, the structural aspect seemed to be Cibani’s greatest source of inspiration, and will no doubt draw in plenty of customers.
