THE SHIRT LIBRARY

A study of the handmade shirt.

Sun faded walls, newspaper mornings, flowers finding their way onto collars. Little things from Colombo that stay with me, and slowly become part of what we make.

Hand-embroidered by the women in our garden atelier in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

For those discovering Studio Dimitra here, welcome to our little world.

What a moment to see so many designers past and present who have been through our doors, celebrated on the catwalk at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Sri Lanka.

Friday Sari Project has been the home for designers from South Asia since 2018 when we opened the first ever concept store in London and again in our new store in 2026 showcasing contemporary designers with a focus on India and Sri Lanka.

“I am so proud of the creative talent coming from my home land Sri Lanka. It was always my intention to create a bridge to offer designers the opportunity to showcase in London. I’m proud to see our current designers from India also showing in Sri Lanka.” @mehala_ford

From the last day at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Sri Lanka 2026. ✨

Grateful to have been part of this experience.
Thank you to the organizers for bringing this event to life, to Studio Dimitra for the beautiful creation, to my agency for the opportunity, and to every designer, model, and creative mind who contributed to making this week what it was.🙌🏾

Fashion is never just about what happens on the runway. It’s the people, the vision, and the energy behind every moment.

Until next time. 🖤

Behind the embroidery, patchwork, and dreamlike details lies a deep commitment to craft. In this edition of Designer Diaries, Dimitra Sahabandu shares the inspiration behind Nocturnal Garden - a collection where memory, nature, and imagination converge through hand‑crafted artistry.

Studio Dimitra continues to celebrate slow craftsmanship, storytelling, and the beauty of creating with intention.
