About MeThe theme for this collection was inspired by a bag, which Richard Womersley wove for Kaffe Fassett, and a postcard depicting tiny Buddhas.

Two patterns were designed. One is horizontal rows of small Buddha forms in random dyed yarns. The other pattern also uses random dyed yarns, this time as elliptical moon shapes set on a plain background. The two patterns were positioned in different combinations on the garments.

The range came in two colourways, with either an olive green or grey ground colour. These were teamed with knife-pleated skirts that have bands of braid picking up the knitwear colours.
