Tiansivarat, owner and designer of Thai brand Oh! Lala and Dee Project, debuted at Jakarta Fashion Week her ELEMENTS collection, consisting of 12 looks modelled by kids. The collection takes inspiration from nature and the natural elements of earth, water, wind and fire, and is evocative of the transformative and changing powers of nature.

Both the designers’ collections are printed by Epson’s digital textile printers, powered by PrecisionCore technology. The collaboration between Epson and designers aims to showcase the unlimited possibilities of digital textile printing and its role in fashion, and vividly captures the bold and vibrant colours of the collections.

“The collaboration with the designers showcases how Epson’s textile printing technology can help in translating the designers’ vision to reality. Epson’s PrecisionCore technology brings vivid colour reproduction, and can inspire designers in the creation of their design. With digital textile printing, designers are only limited by their imagination. Through our collaborations with local designers, we hope to support the fashion industry and create greater awareness of the possibilities of digital textile printing,” said Shuji Hamaguchi, GM (Southeast Asia), Professional Printing, Epson Singapore.
