Nigerian based Sierra Leonean designer O’Saunders just released a beautiful Autumn/Winter 2016 collection titled ‘Jardins de Reve de Marie’, which means ‘Dreamy Gardens of Marie’.

Olabisi Saunders founder of O Saunders was inspired by the “graciousness, whimsy vibrancy and extravagance nature of Marie Antoinette’s beautiful gardens, which she nurtured and groomed for many years despite her being a very influential and controversial woman during the Victorian era.”

With silhouettes inspired by the Victorian era, fabric choices include organza, cotton ribbed knit and rich plain weave cotton. All dresses with stunning patterns and prints, were given a modern twist.

Enjoy the collection below.
