Moonray exhibits intriguing interpretations of ‘matter’ in its latest collection


Home to sustainable and craft conscious fashion, Moonray presents its deeply thought of spring summer 2023 collection.

March 9, 2023: With spring at its peak, fashion houses are delivering their fair share of splendidly styled apparels. In line with that, Moonray has launched its spring summer 2023 collection. Titled “States of Matter”, the collection is inspired by the multiple facets, infinite possibilities, intrinsic qualities and versatility of matter and its many manifestations.

Moonray, a luxury brand by mother-daughter duo Karishma and Avantika Swali, was established in 2021. The brand exhibits a natural inclination towards crafting inclusive designs that are lavish as well as comfortable. With this collection, moonray explores the constant shifting of molecules as matter changes state, evident in the densely embroidered beads on crochet dresses and intricately handcrafted lace collars featuring contemporary variations of needlepoint techniques.

Semi-precious gemstones act as the playful interpretation of the solid state on liquid-like crochet knit fabric in the moonstone series. The bubble drift series with beaded circular cut-outs on the hems and pockets are reminiscent of an interplay between solid and vapor. Visually arresting hand-embroidered flower appliqués, silver metallic flower petals and bugles span through the collection.

Since its inception, the brand has promoted sustainability and crafts that are borrowed from the past and looks to the future. Reiterating its focus on sustainable techniques, natural fabrics like organic cotton poplin, forest-certified viscose, raw denim, viscose fine twill, cotton crochet and organic summer muslins - all biodegradable and certified-vegan - have been used for the collection.

Drawstring details on summer parka jackets, fitted tops paired with A-line wrap skirts, tailored coordinates in vivid hues, crochet lace fabrics and raw denim jackets paired with skirts heightened the versatility of the clothes. As sophisticated as the designs are, the assemblage reminds us of the beauty of our natural state in this fast-evolving world.
