Salabed has always been in support of the designer due to her great creativity as well as a unique view of fashion that ought to be adopted by a wider fashion fraternity. Despite the variation in means, Salabed and Jose Hendo are representative of similar values and we are proud to be associated with the label and what it represents."
On her collection Hendo says: "The element of surprise is key to the collection. This R3 collection encompasses the Reduce Reuse Recycle R3 ethos. The freedom of re-invention doubting established criteria zero-waste, up-cycling, reconstruction, using design techniques that emphasises the sustainable approach to fashion runs through all my collections. My concept sits within the flux of impromptu, free, unpredictable, wild, untamed, restless, asymmetric, simple, fragile, exaggerated, organic."
