"This is our 45th year so we really went to the very essence of Natori, inspired by my archives, the exoticism of the patterns, and as you can see the East-West sensibility from footwear to jewelrys to clothes," said Natori of her latest collection.
It's "perfect timing" to launch new pieces because, according to her, after the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fashion scene has become "very festive, very rich."
As for the new menswear line, Natori said "it's been fun" creating the capsule loungewear collection. "You can buy for your boyfriend, your husband, your son."
The expansion of the brand is about evolving with the times, she added. "If we did not evolve, we won't still be around. You have to keep evolving. Five years later, it's always the challenge, and you have to be relevant to the next generation."
