I always love discovering new designers, especially ones that jump out at you and their designs seem to stay in your mind for weeks and ‘ Salita Matthews ’ is my newest label crush. Coming from a family of leather and silk artisans and manufacturers, it only seems natural that Salita went into the fashion industry. Embracing her Thai heritage, Salita spends half of the year in Bangkok sourcing materials and manufacturing with her team in Thailand. Started in 2007 ‘Salita Matthews’ is fast becoming the label to keep watching as more and more people discover this designer . She not only creates beautifully feminine dresses that are modern with a twist of retro, but also designs accessories to accompany her pieces which make a statement in their own right. The famed Tribune Boutique on James St, New Farm has hailed ‘Salita Matthews’ as their most successful local label, with her last Autumn/Winter collection a sell out. If these pictures are anything to go by, Salita will only go from strength to strength. She has also plans to launch a
children’s wear label next year, now how cute will that be.
Here is the young designer in her own creation, including belt, accompanied with a Scanlan & Theodore bag outside one of the stores she is stocked in CECYLIA
