Jamaican designer Arlene L. Martin of DrennaLuna, creates simple and elegant pieces which help to accentuate a woman’s natural beauty. She is inspired by various objects, people and places and for her 2011 collection she draws inspiration from travelling to Botswana.
‘What I read did not prepare me for my travelling experience to Botswana. The country truly undersells its beauty. The sandy colour of the land, lush green of the trees and light grey saltpans served as inspiration for my 2011 Collection. The calmness of the collection also reflects the calm spirit of the Botswana’s peaceful people. Travelling to Botswana was my most memorable life experience which will forever remain with me’. – Arlene
