Karma On The Rocks is defined by its prints, where colour and pattern are composed into a distinct visual language. Architectural references drawn from 1970s Palm Springs meet botanical elements and sculptural shapes rooted in Japanese aesthetics, which form the basis of each collection.
The process is led by our co-founder, Dania Sakka, whose formative years in Japan inform her approach to composition, colour and detail. Research begins with exhibitions, art and collected imagery, developed into a focused visual direction. Motifs are drawn digitally, with each element refined until the composition is complete.
New collections introduce a fresh series of designs, anchored by a Japanese flower or plant, an element Dania returns to season after season.
Colour is developed alongside, with tone and saturation adjusted to achieve balance across the collection.
Multiple designs are layered to create the main print, which serves as the basis of the garment. Geometric patterns, often inspired by Japanese architecture, are used for trims, introducing contrast to the floral elements and creating a defined visual signature.
The creation of a single print can take up to two months.
Each design is developed in relation to the fabric, ensuring the material carries the pattern as intended. Once finalised, colour, scale and placement are refined before the garments are made.
