Sonya Battla is the queen of the drape, combining the highest quality fabrics with unique of style and originality. Ethnic embroideries feature as details in the design whilst always keeping the silhouettes modern and free.
Battla’s 2017 collection was inspired by the Sufi shrines of Pakistan and the world of Sufism. Beach town, Karachi, also inspired the colour palette which includes beautiful blue tonal dyes and washes. Sonya’s collection uses locally sourced and hand woven fabrics, including hand woven ikat.

WANTED: AN UPRISING OF THE FASHION FORWARD
"Fashion Weeks need to flaunt the real face of fashion, not the face of successful clothing entrepreneurs. There are names one is desperate to see back on the catwalks. Take Sonya Battla, for example. Her brand celebrates 20 years of fashion this year, her strength being politically referenced collections. I remember the landmarks she has designed over the years, from the ode to Karachi to WEAVE, an expression of indigo infusion celebrating our strengths in craft development."
