This collection is inspired by traditional Tibetan monk costume.

Gelong or fully ordained Buddhist monk wears simple clothes made of pieced woolen cloth so that the wearer may not develop attachment to his garments.

The Gelong costume is composed of Shamthab, or lower robe, Chogeu, the yellow shawl, which is worn over the red shawl or Zen. Monk clothes have warm, natural colors: browns, reds, yellows. The yellow fringed hat is worn only on formal occasions.
