The launch of Josie Natori’s Ready-to-Wear collection in Rustan’s takes fashion to new heights with its intricate and hand-finished details, which can be said as the ultimate expression of the art of Natori. The most opulent fabrics, complemented by the most dramatic silhouettes make for an unmatched transformation.

The collection embodies the spirit of the lotus, a symbol of beauty and optimism, and truly captures the essence of what the designs are all about. With a look back to the French colonial past of Indochine, Josie Natori Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection moves forward into the next season with vibrant hues and modern silhouettes. The collection evokes the gentle shapes and grace of the Indochine women, captures the textures and energy of the busy Vietnam streets and awakens the colors and prints of the decorated pagodas and temples.

Modern and refined, this ready-to-wear collection was made with a Natori state of mind. Providing women with the chance to be able to move effortlessly from day to night, the collection boasts of designs that will take your breath away.
