At the heart of Tara Babylon’s own brand is a strong focus on diversity and innovation, with a central theme of embracing gender fluidity in her artistic vision. Her designs are filled with vibrant colours, exceptional craftsmanship, unique textiles, and elements of performance art.

In a time when machines often overshadow handcrafted work, Tara Babylon’s brand proudly revives the spirit of artisanal craftsmanship. She uses techniques like weaving, printing, tufting, and crochet to breathe life into her creations, preserving the special essence of handmade excellence.

Tara Babylon’s creative vision merges traditional artisanal techniques with a modern vibrancy, evoking the spirit of a new ancient Babylon.

For her  Fall/Winter 2024 Collection, Tara Babylon is drawing inspiration from the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon, reimagined through a lens of elegant decay. This intriguing collection seamlessly marries floral motifs with sophisticated textile craftsmanship, featuring an array of weaving techniques and intricate prints that bring to life a tapestry of bygone splendor.

Through her avant-garde approach to fabric innovation and artistic expression, Tara Babylon invites us to explore her distinctive winter vision. Here, a palette dominated by deep, moody blues and stark, contrasting dark tones crafts a narrative of a fantastical yet versatile winter wardrobe.

Each garment in the collection stands as a testament to Tara’s dedication to challenging the limits of style and sustainability.

The collection stands out as a playful yet luxurious interpretation of winter wear. It strikes a balance between comfort and sophisticated elegance, offering an array of wearable and modular designs that are as practical as they are ingenious. Enriched with Tara Babylon’s signature sustainable textures, these garments are not just clothing; they are wearable art in a collection where ancient grandeur meets modern sustainability, all within the visionary winter landscape crafted by Tara Babylon.
