Designer Sabrina Goh looks to the architectural form for her inspiration, resulting in a strong yet sensual silhouette aimed at the edgy, fashion forward crowd. Her latest collection draws inspiration from the corvid family of birds (think crows, rooks and jackdaws) and their fearless and bold nature. References to these birds can be seen in the overlapping and layering as well as the angular cut and oversized sleeves.
