Embodied in seven key styles for the season, “Seven Sisters’’ introduces us to seven characters who share a forward-thinking approach to life.

Second Skin
The “busyness” of modern life is a byproduct of our digital age. We are surely active and busy multitasking but to what end? Internal focus, purposefulness and intention toward living a simpler, slower and more “conscious” life is the antidote to our 24/7 connectedness, and the path to maximising wellbeing. This is the brand provenance of omotogen, an evolving universe of products centred around slow, introspective minimal design. With a focus on clarity, restraint, longevity and timelessness, each product is “defined not by what is not there, but by the rightness of what is there and by the richness with which this is experienced,” in taking a leaf from architect John Pawson.
Starting with a garment, omoto’s inaugural doubleback is a one-of-a-kind double-skinned T minimised with the folding of merino fabric, hem-less seams and raw-edging. Offered in short and long sleeves, the omoto doubleback is designed to fit you like a second skin intent on ensconcing you in ultimate comfort and warmth to help you be at one with yourself.
