The Look
His designs show an extravagance of rich colours, patterns and fabrics expressing the glamour and mysticism of the East. He is making use of his heritage in a very modern Western kind of way. His clothes are very unique. The adornments and clothing creations of Anand Jon boldly embrace and enhance the sensuality of the human body capturing the romantic mysticism of the Neo - Millennium.
