Natori reinvents classic Eastern opulence for the holidays

MANILA, Philippines - For her latest collection, Josie Natori continues to deliver classic eastern opulence with a modern aesthetic. The rich culture of Istanbul is very much alive in this season’s RTW, Natori, and Josie Natori lines. “I drew inspiration from Istanbul, the ever-dynamic crossroads bounding with pampering baths, eclectic markets, glittering palace and whirling dervishes,” says the designer.

Natori’s signature East-meets-West style imbues her pieces with a spirit culled from the rich patterns, textures, and landscapes of Asia. The result: a couture and home collection that befits the modern, sophisticated woman. With a longstanding partnership with Rustan’s, Natori has been providing the discerning shopper access to the brand’s sought-after caftans, robes, and RTW offerings.

For the Josie Natori RTW line, intricate patterns, stitching, and centuries-old handiwork make their way into sharp, tailored dresses and cover-ups, while an Old World Byzantine influence is featured in cuffs, earrings, and necklaces. The Turkish story continues with the Josie Natori collection, taking inspiration from intricate Turkish tiles. Finally, the Natori line offers cozy knits and silk charmeuses adorned with lace and blossoms, and finished in a spectrum of jewel tones that call to mind Byzantine mosaic.

The same meticulous attention to detail can be found in the Natori Home collection, which features luxurious 400- thread-count sheets, Euro shams, bed runners, throws, pillows, and duvets. This season draws from ancient Chinese design, refreshing these classic elements for contemporary dwellings. The image of the dragon and the shou, a symbol of longevity, injects an auspicious spirit into one’s abode.

Josie Natori and Natori are available at Rustan’s Makati and Shangri-La.
