Amesh Wijesekera is a graduate of the Academy of Design in Sri Lanka. His love for textile and colour is enhanced by working alongside the skilled craftsmen and women of his home island, including artisan communities working in knitwear, crochet, handloom and batik which he mixes with digital techniques. Having previously worked with Edeline Lee and Zandra Rhodes, Amesh will launch his brand at International Fashion Showcase in an installation inspired by Vesak, the largest cultural festival in Sri Lanka.
