Riding high on a wave of success after their recent showing at CFW Olu Swim Week, the founders of Karma Collection Seema Moceri and Tivon Prasad are firing on all cylinders as they take the next steps in their fashion journey. With a bricks and mortar store in the Galle Fort Karma Collection also retails in Unawatuna and WH Colombo. Playing on their strengths which is creating bright colourful prints with a tropical vibe in flattering silhouettes, Karma Collection looks set to be every fashionista’s next best friend.
How did you begin your journey in fashion:
Tivon has been in the fashion industry since he was 13, and has been involved with developing some of the most successful retail fashion and lifestyle brands in Galle. It was always his passion and ambition to have his own brand and store, and this materialised in 2017. My journey was a little different. I have been an accomplished Interior Designer in London for the past 15 years, and split my time between London and Sri Lanka. I have always had a keen passion for fashion and when the opportunity arose to take my creativity into another direction, I rose to the challenge, and transitioned into fashion and design with ease. The concepts are the same, just a different medium.
How did you two meet and what made you decide to collaborate?

Lovi Ceylon Debuts In Paris
Continuing their journey to introduce the sarong to the world, Lovi Ceylon launched their new collection to much acclaim at TexWorld Paris during the Paris Fashion Week. While in Paris the Lovi Ceylon show was witnessed by Jean-Paul Donald-Potard a childhood friend of Jean Paul Gaultier who joined forces with the iconic designer to set up a global fashion empire. Jean-Paul Donald-Potard was so taken with the silhouette of the sarong and Lovi Ceylon Founder, Asanka De Mel’s vision, that a visit to Sri Lanka to explore a possible collaboration between the two is on the cards. Asanka De Mel is dogged in his determination to make the sarong an outfit of choice for not only Sri Lankans but for gentlemen around the world. By showcasing his collection in Paris, Lovi Ceylon is one step closer in their journey to global domination.
