Kitschy Couture is a celebration of diasporic identity! The founder of the label, Abarna Kugathasan, explores the intimate tale of her transcultural self.
Merging Sri Lankan roots, Tamil ancestry and a Western upbringing.
As a child of Tamil immigrants, Kugathasan expresses her own identity and honours cultural duality. The sugary landscape of Kitschy Couture uncovers the diasporic sense of longing and the meaning of homesickness. The lingerie and sari inspired ruffly creations represent the trademark style of the German based label.
Fusing traditional and contemporary influences, Kitschy Couture is crafting a
dreamy fairytale through sculptural silhouettes. For this upcoming season the brand is inviting you to a romantic Valentine's date, to treat yourself.
