This captured IKA’s imagination for her collection and provided fuel for her creativity. She drew her design inspiration from the beauty of planet earth, its people and the galaxy beyond.

It is time for us to reach out and embrace our changing planet, doing our part to save it from continuing destruction. Considering this, IKA dug deep within herself and drew out three elements for her theme of GLOBAL SPHERE: Modern Nomad, Nordic Winter and Geo Swirl.  

Modern Nomad
Inspired by the Nordic winter and the sun drenched tropics, IKA tells the story of our modern nomadic life by combining geometrics mixed with stripes along with floral and animal skin fabrics in earthly winter tones of sky blues and tundra greens, sprinkled with magenta reds and sometimes patches of contrasting black and white. Warm soft wool wrap-coats are sometimes double-sided in long, medium and short lengths, conjuring a winter Lapland scene yet fitting perfectly into the modern urban scene.  

Nordic Winter
Snowy peaks of the mountains and icy glacial masses are being diminished by the warming planet. IKA is taking inspiration from the low sun angle of Nordic winter land.  This paints the landscape a glistening silken sheen, azure blue kissed with pink, different shades of glacial blue with burnt sienna, lilac purple and Midas gold. These are artistically combined and intertwined with shimmering metallic grays and chintz browns. 

Geo Swirl
Planet earth spins & swirls through the galaxy. Ika not only displays curvilinear but also linear lines, squares, triangles, trapezoids, rhombus and diamond shapes and forms found in the geological  formations evolved through millions of years  or in newly formed snow flakes, ice crystals and hexagonal volcanic rock columns.

Fabrics of glittering stars on an incandescent sky with bursts of an occasional volcanic red send the ladies rocketing into figure hugging outfits or loose gear for the easy riders and urban cowgirls in virtual reality.
