Royaye Sefid «Veritas Liberati» 2023

As a designer, Leila Hafzi has always found her muse amongst the people she meets and cultures surrounding her. This past year of the world cautiously opening back up to warm cross border embraces has had a grim parallel in the extreme political climate which has taken form in parts of Europe and beyond. It is impossible, not to be affected. 

 

“I stand with women and children on both sides of a war, equally. My solidarity goes to all civilians in every war, everywhere, today. Be it a war of borders, religion or gender.” - Leila Hafzi

 

Along with a continuation of previous techniques and classic designs, Veritas Liberati introduces hand painted couture, inspired by traditional floral patterns from both Russia and Ukraine. The pieces come alive in exclusive fabrics and delicate, feminine designs, made to conquer, not by force but through grace and love.  The entire collection is available in both a soft- and a bright colour pallet.
