As a label that made its name through Africa- influenced fashion in 2010, Suno literally expanded its horizons with the Suno Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
The collection still pulls inspiration from ancient ethnicities, however, the Suno Spring/Summer 2011 collection is focused specifically on Japan, Swahili and Russian influences.
Pieces from this collection stay true to the fun, carefree Suno form. Ethnic inspiration is reflected in more than prints and into fabrics and cuts, with full skirts and silk sprinkled throughout the collection.
