This is an important new chapter for Sri Lankan fashion as Colombo Fashion Week introduces and expands Couture, its high fashion edition. Celebrating artistry, craftsmanship and creative expression, the edition is aptly themed Living Sculpture, further expanding the possibilities of fashion and the creative industry in Sri Lanka.
At this edition, White Peacock draws upon a natural synergy between art and craftsmanship, paying tribute to the extraordinary artistic language of Yayoi Kusama.
Known for her iconic use of dots, repetition and immersive environments, Kusama has transformed the simplest of visual forms into powerful explorations of infinity, perception and the human experience. Inspired by this spirit, White Peacock explores the ideas of repetition, form and perception through art, creating a visual experience that invites audiences to see familiar ideas in unexpected ways.
Across three days of CFW Couture + Trousseau, the story comes to life through art in many forms. Sculpture, visual compositions, form, repetition and craftsmanship come together to create an experience that audiences can discover, interpret and engage with.
For White Peacock, this is not simply about presenting art. It is about celebrating the creative process itself and the relationship between an idea, the artist's hand and the finished work. It is about recognising that fashion and art share something fundamental: the ability to transform an idea into something that can be seen, felt and experienced.
The partnership with Colombo Fashion Week also extends beyond this edition. It represents a long-standing collaboration built on a shared commitment to supporting the growth of fashion, creativity and artistic expression in Sri Lanka.
As CFW Couture opens a new chapter for the country's fashion industry, White Peacock joins that journey by celebrating the artists, designers, makers and creative thinkers who continue to expand what Sri Lankan creativity can be.
Through this collaboration, fashion, art, craftsmanship and creative expression come together, with craftsmanship becoming storytelling and creativity taking many forms.
Colombo Fashion Week - CFW Couture + Trousseau takes place on 17, 18 and 19 September at specially curated venues at City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
A celebration of art. A celebration of craftsmanship. A celebration of creativity in motion.
